1. get into DOS - <cmd.exe from Start Run menu>

Code:
 cd c:\folder\on\pc
 ftp <red hat server name>
 USER: myusername
 PASSWORD: mypwd   
 cd /directory/to/file
 ASC
 get somefile
 bye

Excel can convert a lot of file types. Use Excel help - conversion from a unix file depends more on the file's internal structure rather than any filetype. Unix doesn't natively "do" filetypes like Windows does.
