Unix shell script to Copy files from one Windows server to another Windows server.

Can anybody please help me on how to code for the below requirement:

I need to write a shell script (on different unix server) to copy files from multiple folders (ex. BRN-000001) from one windows server (\\boldls-mwe-dev4)to a different windows server(\\rrwin-ewhd04.ecomad.int). This shell script will be scheduled in Informatica to run every 10 mins such that all the files will be copied between the two windows servers for their respective folders.

I will get the source path(one windows server) and target path (another windows server) in a text file as below:


MailAssurety\Baraboo\BRN-000001,MailAssurety\Jobs\Read\BRN-000001
MailAssurety\Liberty\BRN-694269,MailAssurety\Jobs\Read\BRN-694269
MailAssurety\MapGrove\BRN-884432,MailAssurety\Jobs\Read\BRN-884432

Can anyone please help me with the unix script for this requirement ?
Thank you in advance for helping out.

There's a lot more involved in connecting to a Windows file share than a shell script. It's more like mounting an external disk or filesystem than copying to FTP.

How to do so depends what your system is. Your OS, not your application.

Are these Windows machines running scp, ftp, or anything like that?

No.. The windows machines are not running any programs like SCP, FTP etc...

If you have smbclient available you could pipe tar output from one instance to tar extract in another something like:

Code:
smbclient //boldls-mwe-dev4/MailAssurety -T c - Baraboo/BRN-000001 | smbclient //rrwin-ewhd04.ecomad.int/MailAssurety -D Jobs/Read -T x -

I'd use Windows Services for Unix, this package is included in Windows 2008 and later, or download it from MS, search for SUA. For W'2003 and older look for SFU 3.5. Both are pretty stable. There is a great net community that supports it here:
SUA Community: Microsoft Windows Subsystem for Unix-based Applications, Interix and SFU
