The easiest option is to use Samba to access the Windows share from your Linux system.

On most modern Linux systems, you can mount a samba share as:

mount '//servername/directory' /mnt -o 'user=mydomain\myusername'

(note the single quotation marks, and that the backslashes in the server designation are converted to forward slashes). The last part "-o..." is optional, only necessary if you need to authenticate to the share, then you need to specify logon domain+username. You will then be prompted for a password.

Most Linux systems also have a graphical way to access this (e.g. network display in Ubuntu).

After mounting, the remote directory will appear like a local directory to you.

If this does not work for you, please edit your question with more details.
