You can use a CIFS share from a Microsoft operating system.

Use Windows Explorer entering the path to the share in UNC syntax:

Examples:

\\lsdf02.urz.uni-heidelberg.de 
or
\\lsdf02.urz.uni-heidelberg.de\<sv-acronym>

Following the input of the UNC path, a window will pop up:

Following authentication a new window pops up, showing the content of the share. You can now manipulate your files as accustomed.
