Okay, one last question: when you mentioned "secure" did you mean as in
"reliable" or as in "encrypted"?

Here some of your possiblities:

You can display the windows GUI on the linux Box Using VNC (or remote
desktop if using windows XP), and you can do it from windows while you
are using the linux screen and keyboard. This method is not encrypted.

You can mount a windows "share" directory on the linux and use the
normal cp commands. (Also no encryption)

(as extension to above you can copy to a windows share without mounting
it)

You can start the FTP service on the windows machine, and use the FTP
protocoll. (Still no encryption)

For encryption, you are going to need to setup a SSH server on the
windows. For this there is a sourceforge project (search for windows
ssh) which provides a better install of the Cygwin SSH server. Cygwin
is a huge beast...

Good luck

Jerry
