Hi, I am a new unix admin.

My webserver hard drive is filling up quick and I am trying to move
some files to a networked windows server that has a burner to perform
backup.

I am not sure the command to pass in the shell to make this happen.  in
windows I would map a path to the computer in question and use the
console to copy.  Do I do something similar to for unix system?

I am thinking something like...
$  cp fooboo.tar   //winbox1/backup

or
$ cp fooboo.tar  X:/backup/

Thanks in advance.

You must be root to mount unless the remote share is listed in
/etc/fstab.
