Windows XP to SCO Unix

[dpm]

I am currently transferring files by FTP from an XP machine to a SCO Unix
machine with no problem. Is it possible to configure XP and SCO such that
the SCO directory/file tree can be seen with the Windows Explorer? The /u
file system on the SCO machine is exported as NFS and was once connected to
another SCO which mounted the exported file system successfully.

There's a Windows NFS clients, but it's non-free. I'd recommend compiling
Samba (http://www.samba.org) on the SCO box, and using SMB/NetBIOS.

Hi, Skylar -

Samba might be the ticket.
