Shalom,

Windows has a sharing tool based on samba.

You can use the windows gui to set shares and then cifsmount or smbmount to access the shares.

Shalom,

Samba's file size limits are pretty big.

How big is the file.

You can us Unix services for Windows and set up a NFS server.

You can use openssh for windows and use secure shell(openssh) to copy the files.

File size limitations still apply.

If you're doing remote deployment, I assume you have Administrator-level access to those windows machines. Right?

In that case, use a smbclient or smbmount to connect to the hidden admin shares, e.g. \\HOSTNAME\C$. Then just copy the file(s) into the directory you want.

If you want to script it, smbmount is probably easier. Something like:

for HOST in win01 win02 win03 ...
do
smbmount //$HOST/C\$ /mnt -o user=xxx,password=yyy

# copy file to C:\windows\temp
cp /winstuff/bigfile.exe /mnt/windows/temp

smbumount /mnt
winexe -U identity //$HOST "command"
done

You might also explore using scp with authentication keys.
You will need an ssh service running on windozzze and add the public key to the authorized_keys file.
Search google there should be plenty of explanations there.
