Compatibility / Sharing data between XP and sun microsystems ultra

I want to network a Windows XP system with a Sun microsystems Ultra 10
system. The Sun system is part of a x-ray system, I want to share the
information (x-ray images) with a Windowas XP system. I want to use the XP
system to save images to an external hard drive and cd burner as a back up
for the information on the Sun system. Is it possible to share the
information from the Sun system with the XP system, and will the information
from the Sun system display correctly on the XP system?

Choose one or the other:
Install SAMBA (www.samba.org) on the Sun system. It makes it act like a
Windows machine toallow you to share a folder.

Or setup FTP and use FTP from XP to the Sun box.

If it was Windows Server 2000 or 2003, you can install the Unix services on
it to make it act like a Unix machine.

One other thing I forgot to mention - You can try what CaNet implemented for
Sun Solaris:
