Is there a file-system deployment tool for ECM similar to the one for WCM?
Thanks,
Kapil

No - the ADM repository doesn't store enough information to be able to support efficient deployment.  In particular it's not a versioned repository (whereas the AVM is), so it's impossible to efficiently calculate the delta between what was previously deployed and what is being deployed next, particularly if there are multiple deployment targets, each of which may be populated with content from different times.

That said you can emulate the same thing by mounting the ADM repo via CIFS or NFS and then using tools such as rsync to replicate the content out to a vanilla filesystem.  This won't be as efficient as WCM deployment (rsync has to do a lot of work to determine the delta between source and target), but will be reasonably functional.

Cheers,
