Transfer file to Windows server from Ubuntu
I am transferring file to Windows server from Ubuntu with following command:
smbclient //server_ip_add/share -U username
We can use rsync to transfer file from Ubuntu to Ubuntu and then by creating script run it as cronjob. Is it possible to do all this from Ubuntu to Windows?

You could mount the samba share on Ubuntu, then there is absolutely no difference on what OS the server is running.

I used MountWindowsSharesPermanently method to transfer file via rsync automatically.
First I mount a windows share folder (or map network drive) to which i want to transfer file with following method:
sudo mkdir /media/BACKUP
sudo mount -t cifs -o username=domainusername //ip_add/ShareFolder /media/BACKUP
then use rsync to transfer file:
sudo rsync -azp /path/to/source /media/BACKUP/ShareFolder
Create script,make it executable and schedule a cronjob.
Now if you reboot the system, it will be unmounted. So to mount it permanently, do following:
Open terminal & run:
sudo gedit /etc/fstab
Edit:
//ip_add/ShareFolder /media/BACKUP/ cifs credentials=/home/username/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,gid=1000,uid=1000,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,sec=ntlm 0 0
Here .smbcredentials is a credential file created in home directory
To create it, run gedit ~/.smbcredentials
Edit:
username=domainusername
password=Password
save & close it.
UPDATE: For Ubuntu 16.04.3, and 18.04, edit vers=1.0
//ip_add/ShareFolder /media/BACKUP/ cifs credentials=/home/username/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,gid=1000,uid=1000,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,vers=1.0,sec=ntlm 0 0
