How to migrate files from UNIX to Windows?

You should use the NFS service to transfer the files from the UNIX server to the Windows server.
Microsoft has a nice article on the process here:

Alternatively, you could use FTP to bring the files from the UNIX box onto the Windows server. However, in either case, you will lose the permissions attached to each file, which you'll need to apply once they're in window.
