Hello All,
I am working on a project to automate the copying of files from a server running Linux (Red Heart) to a Windows system. Can anyone please give me sample project in VB.Net to look at or some articles to read?

Rather than copying the files from one OS to the other, set up Samba on the linux machine and just drop the files of interest in the shared directory. The Windows machine(s) can see the files on the share as local files and act accordingly.

Doing it this way means that the linux machine doesn't have to be concerned with network availability or uptime of the Windows machine (the files are local), the Windows machine sees the files natively and no weird development needs to be done. You can control read/write/delete/ownership access on the share using conventional file protection methods.

Thanks very much. But i am new to Linux and i would be very grateful if you can give me some workarounds. How do i use Samba to create the shared folder and how will my Windows machine see the shared folder? (They are both on a network)
