1) FTP

2) SAMBA

3) EMAIL

FTP is this is a one-shot or only occasional deal. Samba is a better long-term solution. Samba allows a UNIX to "share" files with a Windows box in either direction.

How do I use Samba? what are the commands?

Samba / CIFS 9000 will first have to be installed and configured.

Man ftp. That will tell you all you need to know.

Thankyou all, I will readup and work on either ftp or Samba.

From the command window on the windows system
ftp < unix hostname>
ftp

login as valid user

get file name

or change to the directory containing the file
get file name

man ftp for more info

On UNIX, you only have one choice - CIFS Client (HP-UX) which is actually a product from Sharity, Inc. (other UNICEs available too)... Note CIFS Client is NOT "Samba"...

On Linux, both CIFS Client (the Sharity Flavour) as well as "Samba Client - SMB Client or SMBFS" is available..

thankyou all.

Take a look at WinSCP, easy to install and use...imho very user-friendly.
