Easiest I can think of is use a script to email the files to yourself or to them, I guess that would depend on how big they are though.

There are quite a few threds on here dealing with that.

Have never tried using a USB disk on our HP-UX. We either send email attachment or ftp to/from them.

A couple of approaches:

use mailx to mail an attachment file to an email address available on a pc (don't mail to your unix account)
[see this link, and there are many more mentions of mailx on this forum -- https://www.unix.com/hp-ux/41306-send...gh-mailx.html]

use an ftp program to transfer the file
[see this link for ftp and much more -- https://www.unix.com/unix-dummies-que...-unix-pc.html]
