    Hello, I am developed a windows service in c#.net3.0(WCF). There is a requirement, that, this service should spontaneously search for a file.mpg in linux folder. My service will run on the windows platform, there is an another service running on linux and creates .mpg file in its folder. Now my service has to search for the file in linux folder. Did anyone has met with the similar requirement ever? if so, how you have solved or met this. Please guide me on this. Thank you Anumadhu.K

      Two approaches that come to mind are: 1) share the target folder on the linux system so that the windows system can see it 2) have the two services talk to one another and exchange any files between themselves Judy

        You need to run Samba on your linux box. Then just modify /etc/smb.conf to list the directory(s) and permissions you want to share on/with the Windows network. You will have to work a little bit with the encrypted (Windows) and unencrypted (Samba) passwords to get them to play nicely together.
