How about using scp with public/private key authentication running from a unix cron to scp from the windows host to a dir on the unix host? Requires ssh installed on both hosts.
I've also installed Cygwin on a windows host in the past and used that for the ssh/scp component as you get a nice unix flavour when you ssh in remotely. Alternatively as someone has already said try using smbmount to mount a windows share on a unix dir and use unix cp or mv. Requires samba installed on your HPUX host and that install must have the smbmount (or equivalent) utility. You could also use ftp to fetch the files from the windows server. Requires ftp server installed on windows host. All the above could be driven from within a UD/UV basic program.

The issue I have is I need my Unix box to grab the data from Windows and copy it from Windows to Unix. The copy needs to be run from Unix, not Windows. THAT is the problem I am having. Mapping a network drive in Windows will be great from Windows, but will not solve the problem of issuing the command from Unix (unless I am completely missing the point).

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.
