so which format should I choose for the disk? My options are PCFS (DOS), UFS (UNIX), UDFS, and NEC DOS.

I'm just trying to copy files from the Sun that I will eventually put on another webserver via a network connection on a PC. I don't really know anything about those different filesystems so any suggestions?

Since this thread is about copying files to a floppy for transport to another system you should use pcfs (dos). That way, most OS's will be able to read the files off the floppy.
