You should be able to mount a Windows share onto the Linux file system.
Take a look at the mount command with the '-t smb' option (mount may not
require -t smb, but that's where the smb option will be on the man
page).

look at the smbmount command. I've used it a little. I tried NFS, but
could not really find a good Windows NFS server. Well, I was not willing to
pay very much.

According to the Samba folks, the preferred method these days
is something
more like this:
mount -t smbfs //systemname/sharename /mountpoint \
-o username=userid,workgroup=domainorworkgroupname
