We have a Network drive(shared) where new files are dropped on a regular basis. These files should be transferred to a folder on AIX machine to be picked up by external vendor. Once these files are processed the external vendor drops a new processed file on the AIX Folder which in-turn should be copied to the Network Drive.
Please suggest the best way to automate this process.
Samba is typically used for file services between Windows and Unix/Linux. See this link for a definition: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/...
Google "samba for AIX" for more links.
Also, keep in mind the difference between ASCII files with Windows and Unix. Unix terminates a line with a line-feed while Windows uses a carriage-return and line-feed.

Appreciate your reply. I went through Samba and found it very apt for my situation. What other options do I have since I have to make a list of all options. 1) Rsync
2) Come up with a script that checks and trasfers the files securely
