There are three ways -
1. unix.com - included with dosemu
c:\unix ls -al runs ls on the current linux directory
2. mtools - man mtools
3. lredir - since "user" is mentioned - it is probably lredir

6. Using Lredir

What is it? Well, its simply a small DOS program that tells the MFS
(Mach File System) code what 'network' drives to redirect. With this
you can 'mount' any Linux directory as a virtual drive into DOS. In
addition to this, Linux as well as multiple dosemu sessions may
simultaneously access the same drives, what you can't when using
partition access.
6.1. how do you use it?
First make sure you aren't using DosC (the FreeDos kernel), because
unfortunately this can't yet cope with the redirector stuff.
Mount your dos hard disk partition as a Linux subdirectory. For
example, you could create a directory in Linux such as /dos (mkdir -m
755 /dos) and add a line like
/dev/hda1 /dos msdos umask=022
to your /etc/fstab. (In this example, the hard disk is mounted read-
only. You may want to mount it read/write by replacing "022" with
"000" and using the -m 777 option with mkdir). Now mount /dos. Now
you
can add a line like
lredir d: linux\fs/dos
to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file in your hdimage (but see the comments
below).
On a multi-user system you may want to use
