It's not clear to me what you are trying to achive. Are you trying to
copy a file from one location to another? Let's say for example you are
running a Java program on AIX that needs to read a file from a Windows
2000 share and print it to System.out. You might use the following code:

  import jcifs.smb.*;
  
  jcifs.Config.setProperty( "wins", "192.168.1.230" );
  SmbFileInputStream in = new SmbFileInputStream(
       "smb://username:password@w2ksvr/tmep/report.txt" );
  byte[] b = new byte[8192];
  int n;
  while(( n = in.read( b )) > 0 ) {
      System.out.write( b, 0, n );
  }

To write the contents of report.txt to a file on the AIX machine you
would simply write the buffer to a FileOutputStream.

If you are trying to read a file from an AIX machine remotely jCIFS is
not what you want. You would need to ask the system administrator what
file sharing options are available on the machine.

performs rather than the physical world or a process because this
maximizes  the  potential  for it to be applied to tasks that are
conceptually  similar and, more important, to tasks that have not
yet been conceived.
