Windows-compatible file-sharing for Unix and Linux systems is provided by
a package called Samba.  (The older version of Windows File Sharing used the
"SMB" protocol.  I believe recent Samba versions also support the CIFS
protocol introduced with Windows 2000.)
  I don't actually know what the linux commands to use Samba look like, but
I believe there are excellent reference documents included and online.
