Copy file from UNIX to WINDOWS shared folder

I need to create a script in UNIX that will copy a file from a UNIX directory to a WINDOWS shared folder.

The file myFile.txt is located in /unixServer/fileout/ and I need this file to be copied to a WINDOWS server /winServer/filein/.

Not sure where to start to create this script file for UNIX in order to do this.

Alternatively
Try from the windows side:
copy \\unixserver\fileout\myfile.txt c:\
I found out it was a permissions problem...I'm splitting the points for your time to respond.  Thank you both.
