smbclient is your friend. Try either man'ing it or use the --help option.

Hi,

First you need to setup file and print sharing on your windows box. open up network properties and click on the button that says "file and pring sharing". For sharing files select "I wnat to be able ... access to my file". Then click ok twice, you may need to restart. Once back in windows, right click on folders you want to share and choose "sharing". There you can enter passwords to give access to those folders.

Second, install smbclient on your linux box if you haven't done so already. Then run

smbclient //name_windows_box/name_of_folder

That should work. Let us know how it went.
