Trying to transfer b/w Unix and Windows

Hello everyone,

I am trying to copy a large file from our SCO server to Win2000, burn it and then copy to our new server. Here's my problem. The file I am transfering is about 90 meg. When I use ftp from the windows machine and use the get command, it transfers the file but when I look at the properties of the file on the 2000 machine it is only 450 K. I tried to use a tftp server and that seems to work but it times out after 33 meg. Does anyone know if I can get around the timeouts? Or is the ftp file smaller because is is ascii - if that is true, can I still put it back together on our new machine?

Thanks in advance

jeff
