Hi Dave: I have a small application that allows users on my LAN to upload files and photos. Rather than store the photos to a windows directory I upload them to a small dedicated Linux server using ftp and then retrieve them again for my application from this same server using http. This works well as I'm able to use the same photos in a second application. To upload the files I use the org.apache.commons.net.ftp lib. This approach might also work well if I need to cluster the application down the road.
Perhaps this could work for you as well. If you want to keep your storage on the windows machine consider installing the samba (smbfs) on your Linux box (it might already be installed). You could "share" the folder that contains the files on you windows box and then mount this directory using sambafs on your linux box. The mount command will look something like: mount -t smbfs -o username=THEUSERNAME,password=THEPASSWORD /mnt/SOMEDIRECTORY //WINDOWSBOX/SHAREDFOLDER Rather than mount manually you could also either make an entry in you fstab or perhaps play with the autofs package so that the Linux box can find the windows share if you need to reboot the linux box.

Web application using JSF deployed on JBoss runing on Linux. Another server machine is Windows 2003. For file upload, all the file need to be stored in the windows machine. Questions: how to access the windows' file system from Linux? For file upload, can the file be uploaded directly into the windows machine even though the JBoss is running on the Linux machine?
