Seriously though.

How big is the file?
Is the file a basic text file or something else like a database?
Are you trying to achieve this from a Linux command line or from a Windows Terminal emulation package (if so, which package)?
What version of Linux?
What version of Windows?

Since you were given the option of scp, why do you not want to do that? You can use python's built in webserver
Code:
python -m SimpleHTTPServer

when in the directory you wish to share and then you can use wget or a browser to pull the files

However, that seems more complex than just scp. What is your aversion to it?

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of the meaning of 'protocol'. They're what make communication of any sort possible. You have to have one!
