using a unix shell script, copy a file from an nt server to a unix server, without ftp
I'm sure someone has asked this question before but I couldn't find it.
I need to automatically copy a file from an NT Server group drive folder to a folder on a unix box. Can I do it using a unix shell script without FTP? (I have a user name and password for a group drive on the NT Server.)
Bascially, using a shell script, can I log in to access the NT group drive and copy/paste the file to a specific folder on my unix box?
I have a short turnaround time as this is one of those "firedrill" types of situations.
If it's not possible without ftp, any specifics would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I wouldn't say it's impossible, but tricky...
Another solution is could be installing a rshd service on the windows server. There are various commercial daemons available, maybe also free ones. Just look on the internet, for example, here you can find a free evaluation version:

Good luck!

It's possible *and* tricky ;-)
1. rsync
2. samba (smbclient)
3. rshsvc (from NT ResKit)
4. ssh (sshd from openssh or cygwin)
1. to 3. have already been sugested, I'd use 4.
If you don't have admin access to NT, 2. is the way to go
