To connect to the shares to transfer the files, click go/connect to server (or shortcut command+k) and type smb/ipaddress

the default windows workgroup is WORKGROUP so leave that as is (unless you have changed it) and enter the user details. This then brings up a dialogue box from where you can select which shares you connect to...
