How to map from Unix to Windows

[Tuhin]

Hello every one,

Is it possible to map windows from unix? What I am trying to do:

1. First i will connect Unix(OS:Sun Solaries) from my PC (OS:Windows
XP)
2. Write a script in Perl (on Unix) to open the Windows Explorer on my
PC.

Any help/suggestion/code will be appreciated.

Thanks
Tuhin

Hello every one,

Define what you mean by "map".

1. First i will connect Unix(OS:Sun Solaries) from my PC (OS:Windows
XP)

Define "I will connect". Telnet / ssh? FTP? HTTP? SMB?

2. Write a script in Perl (on Unix) to open the Windows Explorer on my
PC.

A program running on one computer cannot, in general, cause an
arbitrary program to run on another (this is a good thing). You need
some sort of program running on the target to authenticate and honour
the request.

Any help/suggestion/code will be appreciated.

I suggest that before you hit "send" on a Usenet post you read what you
written pretending you did not already know what you were trying to
say. It is impossible to figure out what your are asking.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Do you mean make Unix network shares
visible to Windows?

Samba will do this for you.
