We use Samba to move 1000's of interface transaction files across from Windows servers to a HP-UX UniVerse server daily. The Windows server creates the file, and UV on the HP-UX box picks them up. The directories and files are create on the HP-UX server through a Samba share. Haven't tried it

You also might be better off using winscp on the windows server. You could write a program/script to SCP the files over to the HP-UX server every night. WinSCP has some nice windows command line options. Chances are you already have ssh, or ftp installed in HP-UX. http://winscp.net/eng/index.php
