UNIX and Linux Applications

Hey people..

I have a strange problem with FTP with one of our clients.
They want to use ftp in following manner.

First the client FTP's to its domain FTP Server

And then tries to "get" the files shared in his windows network shares.

get \\abcdserver.com\Test\test.txt

I tried this using Windows standard FTP Client but this doesn't seems to be a valid user case.
Even Linux doesn't supports this.

Any thoughts on this, if it's a valid use case????

I would like to know if standard supports such case or is it an invalid case.
IMO, its invalid since to resolve abcdserver.com you need to do a DNS query and again authentication is required at abcdserver.com to access the shared folder Test.

Please enlighten.

Thanks in advance

Aside from that, all FTP implementations I know can only serve from directories mounted locally. Your client would have to connect that Share (e.g. net use X: \\abcdserver.com\Test in cmd.exe) before being able to use it with FTP.
