Connecting to password protected UNC using Java

Question

I need to copy files to and from some windows network share, like \\compname\admin$ for example. Right now we use JNI and open a connection using WNetAddConnection2 and then WinAPIs CopyFile to operate.

Source machine has Windows OS.

Isn't there another simpler Java way?

A solution we have involves the j-interop library and WMI. May be worth a look. However, we are coming from Linux copying to Windows. I don't know what platform your source is from the question.
