FTP from Unix to Windows: Need help!
Hello everyone,
I know nothing about Unix, however, I developed a Windows VB app that takes ascii flat files and generates formatted excel reports in single or batch mode. There are about 200 reports that come off the mainframe from a unix box which I have to manually download into my Windows environment before I can run my app.
This was killing me so I asked the Unix operator if he could dump all the files onto a local sharepoint where my app was pointing to. Initially he suggested that an ftp server be enabled on sharepoint which IT immediately shot down.
Fair enough. But here's my question, is it possible for him to FTP the files directlty to my workstation without me having to install an FTP server just by porting to ip:2i with my pwd/login?
I'm just getting the run around from IT and I would really appreciate it if someone knowledgeable in this matter could advise me.
The most preferable solution would be one that does not involve installing any kind of 3rd parthy software which would take 200 years to happen by the time someone actually made a decision around here.
Thanks a lot!

findsmb
FINDSMB(1) User Commands FINDSMB(1)
NAME
findsmb - list info about machines that respond to SMB name queries on a subnet
SYNOPSIS
findsmb [subnet broadcast address]
DESCRIPTION
This perl script is part of the samba(7) suite.
findsmb is a perl script that prints out several pieces of information about machines on a subnet that respond to SMB name query requests.
It uses nmblookup(1) and smbclient(1) to obtain this information.
OPTIONS
-r
Controls whether findsmb takes bugs in Windows95 into account when trying to find a Netbios name registered of the remote machine. This
option is disabled by default because it is specific to Windows 95 and Windows 95 machines only. If set, nmblookup(1) will be called
with -B option.
subnet broadcast address
Without this option, findsmb will probe the subnet of the machine where findsmb(1) is run. This value is passed to nmblookup(1) as part
of the -B option.
EXAMPLES
The output of findsmb lists the following information for all machines that respond to the initial nmblookup for any name: IP address,
NetBIOS name, Workgroup name, operating system, and SMB server version.
There will be a '+' in front of the workgroup name for machines that are local master browsers for that workgroup. There will be an '*' in
front of the workgroup name for machines that are the domain master browser for that workgroup. Machines that are running Windows for
Workgroups, Windows 95 or Windows 98 will not show any information about the operating system or server version.
The command with -r option must be run on a system without nmbd(8) running. If nmbd is running on the system, you will only get the IP
address and the DNS name of the machine. To get proper responses from Windows 95 and Windows 98 machines, the command must be run as root
and with -r option on a machine without nmbd running.
For example, running findsmb without -r option set would yield output similar to the following
IP ADDR NETBIOS NAME WORKGROUP/OS/VERSION
