Are you talking about something like SFTP / SCP ? You can transfer files between *nix machines by using

Code:

scp files othermachine:directory

(for transferring from your computer) or

Code:

scp othermachine:files directory

(for transfering to your computer). Read the scp manpage for more details.

On Windows you can get SFTP/SCP clients like WinSCP.

You can also just mount the share something like as root
mount -t smbfs //MachineName/share /home/you/MountingPoint

Code:

man mount

Then use a file mgr to manipulate the files. Like Konqueror, Rox, Nautilus.

Don't forget to unmount the share when you are done, before turning off the share.
umount /home/you/MountingPoint

Code:

man umount

You can make an entry for it in /etc/fstab but then the share will have to be on first whenver you start the Linux box.

If all you need to do is move a file from one machine to another, you could also just FTP it, or if it's small enough, mail it to yourself. Can you describe in more detail exactly what functionality you need? -- J.W.
