From windows, you can run ftp. I do this all the time. I open a cmd window, type ftp, and then I have an ftp client very much like the unix ftp client. There are dozen of other ftp clients for windows. The windows server has IIS (I think its called) that includes an FTP server. I have heard that a limited version of IIS comes with XP Professional and you can install it and then run FTP, but only for a very few connections at a time. But both Windows and Unix must be configured to run FTP. Lots of people do not run FTP anymore. If it's not running and you can't change that, this won't work. I don't think you can run the IIS FTP server on XP Home. But in general, either system can FTP the other.
