Hi H@foorsa.biz,
By default, my company is using Samba Server, I can manually access the files thorough Samba Server. However, my concern is I just want to access through files through command in Unix's terminal, example I want to access my Win files in Unix's terminal just by typing /c/jessy/filename.

Hi Amitranjansahu,
What do you mean by installing Cygwin and do the work? I have install Cygwin in my PC, so what can I do with it?

Thanks you guys.

Hi Amitranjansahu,

I had tried copying files from Unix to my Win successfully with Cygwin's Command Prompt. However, there is another question arises, may I know whehter Cygwin is running Win's command as there are a lot of Win command can't be executed via Cygwin's Command Prompt, for instance, start, color etc. Besides, I try to use vi, xterm via Cygwin's Command Prompt, these Unix command can't be executed via Cygiwn's command Prompt as well.
So, what does that mean?
Thanks.
