That would be quite a lesson. There are several complicated layers and the
documentation is not good. The closest thing you're going to find is a
book called "DCE/RPC over SMB" by Luke Leighton.

Sure. But a quick-and-dirty job would probably take a good programmer a
year or so to grasp the protocol details and get it working reliably
enough. The CIFS protocol is non-trivial. It would be much more practical
to use someone elses work. Depending on how much memory we're talking
about you might be able to strip down Samba enough to work on it. I
noticed this link in someones sig the other day:

It looks like exactly what you need. Unless you're a super-programmer with
masochistic tendencies I strongly recommend you use a canned solution.
