Hi folks, first of all I want to thank you for this much response to my little question.
At the moment, the use of the smbclient command looks very promising. As it is capable to copy files to a server, it can use credentials and even capable to download files from windows. The syntax ist well explained. As mentiond, latest windows shall have ssh installed (a great improvement for Microsoft, already after 30 years they are using ssh LOL), but I suppose, this must be activated manually. I doubt, many windows admins will do this, as it is not graphical (except using putty) and my personal experience in the past with MS-admins is ,they do not really care and do not know much of security). I suppose, best solutions for my questions at the moment are the use of smbclient and/or scp. If someone got further ideas, I will be hapy to listen to. Otherwise this little question can be tagged as solved. Thank you very miuch for all your ideas and help. Best regards Hans
