You can get SAMBA for UNIX and Windows. Currently I have Samba set-up
where I work, and have a couple of Directories on the Unix box shared in
different ways.

I have accomplished this by editing the smb.conf file on the Unix box.
I have a couple of shares with read-only access for all users and others
by IP address only allowing certain PCs to connect and share.

If you do a search on Google.com you should find some info about Samba.
Theres also a publication on the subject by O'Reily books.

Subject: Simple samba question

Samba runs as a server on a Unix system and allows Windows to connect to
it as clients. Am I correct?

Someone wants me to run samba on Win2000 as a server, with a AIX box
acting as a client. Is this possible, or desirable? Ther requirement is
to share a directory between the AIX and Win2000 box.
