Have a look at rsync and search for this term here, you will find many tips regarding this topic.

Rather than sync files, why not make AIX write them to a Windows fileshare? Install bos.cifs from your base CD and update, then you can mount a Windows share on your AIX system and write normally.

This has the added benefit of not requiring AIX to have any control of the security of the fileshare. So have your Windows admin create a share with a dedicated account for AIX to have full read/write access, and then they can ACL users on at the Windows domain level instead of your trying to integrate something like Samba with Windows. – Demosthenex Feb 29 '12 at 17:55
