HP has a product called CIFS/9000 to allow sharing HPUX to share directories in the windows environment.

Another similar product (available free) is samba.

Using "samba" you can fetch files from a windows "share" folder by using the "smbclient" tool. This is an "ftp" type transfer command.

I don't think you can "mount" a windows share. If you got a NFS server product (Microsoft has one called SFU3.0) you can export NFS style shares from a windows platform.

If you actually want to use NFS then you need an NFS client or server for Windows. One product that I have used is OmniNFS from http://www.xlink.com. Your other options is to use Samba (CIFS/9000) which is freely available from HP. It makes your UNIX box able to access Windows files.

If you need to access HP-UX directories from windows or windows directories from HP-UX, I recommend CIFS/9000. It works with HP-UX 11.X and above and is FREE.

See here for more details:

CIFS Client (mount windows shares on HP-UX):

CIFS Server (mount HP-UX shares from Windows):
http://www.software.hp.com/cgi-bin/swdepot_parser.cgi/cgi/displayProductInfo.pl?productNumber=B8725AA

Good luck!

No you don't need to install anything on Windows. You just need to have file sharing turned and the directory shared.

We have CIFS and or samba on our HP boxes. Windows 2000, see the shares fine.

We have had security permission problems with Windows NFS and shares Permissions between other Windows user. Share perms on the Windows box can conflict. If you desire tight file security you will have issues with file sharing. All of the troubles was with MS.
