Copy files from Unix host to Windows host with Samba 2.0 ?

[MCCALL,DON (HP-USA,ex1)]

Hello Brian,
I think you have a syntax problem there;
Try:

smbclient \\\\servername\\sharename

the command you used:

smbclient \\\\\\servername

parsed the first two sets of \\\\ and expects the servername there, then
after the next \\ expects the sharename ON that server; thats why it
reported 
that connection to " " failed - basically you didn't give him a servername
to 
attach to...
Hope this helps,
Don

Can anyone tell me if files can be copied from a Unix (Solaris 2.6) host
running 
Samba 2.0 to a Windows Server ? 
It appears that the 'smbclient' command might support this capability, but I

can't seem to get it to work. I can use the smbclient -L to view shares and 
the -M to sent Windows hosts messages, so all appears to be configured
correctly.
(using a 'wins server' on a separate network segment).
Is there possibly something on the Windows side that needs to be enabled ..
or will
this not work across network segments ?
I tried the following :
	smbclient \\\\\\ServerName
and receive the following
	error connecting to 255.255.255.255:139 (Network is unreachable)
	Connection to   failed
thanks, 
Brian
