Writing files to windows machine from Broker (Unix)

Question

I have a requirement to create/append file on windows machine from WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit v 7.0 (Unix). Unix user does not have permissions to access the windows machine. I wanted to write a Java code which can create or append to a file with other credentials which has access to windows machine (not FTP , it's a shared drive in the same network but a different group).

I found some solutions which the client don't want to use whatever constraints.

1. Creating a NFS mount point and write to that mount point location.
2. Use SAMBA framework.

Can anyone suggest something other than this ?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Run a WebSphere MQ Managed File Transfer agent on the Windows host. Then the broker can simply send files to the agent which will write them to the local filesystem on the Windows host. This capability is built into modern versions of MQ.
