If your looking for somethign like that perhaps samba is what your looking
for (www.samba.org).  It's a UNIX version of the Microsoft file sharing
protocols and such...works pretty well but can be difficult to configure.

But it will let you map drives on a windows box to shares on unix systems,
although there is no smbfs option yet for FreeBSD (so you can't go the other
way without using another software package).

Also FTP may be another way to move the files around - less configuration
work.

(please note, I'm asuming your talkig about sharing between 2 seperate
computers, otherwise just create a FAT slice in Windows, BSD will mount it)
