If copying from the windows server to the HP-UX machine... If you use the samba method... you would need:
1) Samba installed on HP-UX server running Unidata 2) Setup a share to share a directory on HP-UX 3) Map the network drive on the Windows Server 4) Just do a standard windows copy from one drive letter to the other That being said, my steps above are grossly "over-simplified" If you have never done a samba install on HP-UX and configuration before, this could take you several days/weeks. If its a one time deal, then the previous posters idea of ftp, is so much easier. Its been a number of years, since I put samba on HP-UX. If you can find a package that utilizes swinstall (sam) somewhere out on the web, it might make your life easier.
