hi I was wondering if anyone could give me a tip on :

Transferring a file over the network.. from win XP machine --> linux machine.

To validate the connectivity between the two machines.. I am able to do RDesktop (remote desktop) from Linux machine into my winXP machine.

I basically want to copy some of my mp3 / avi collections off my win XP machine and watch it on Linux machine via MPLAYER.

If you have sshd running on your DSL box, then you could use http://winscp.net/eng/index.php to transfer the files.

Would using samba help? I can access a shared directory on the XP machine using smbtree and smbclient which I've run from the console.
I am asking if it would help because I don't know if it would work if I was trying to access secured XP machine (if there is such a thing!)
Cheers and beers

I've been told the best way to learn is to explain it to someone else in front of "experts". People who are knowledgable (and sometimes even if they're not!) on a topic will soon tell you if you're wrong, and love you for the opportunity to either show their prowess or make jokes at your expense!

WinSCP works thru SCP thru SSH

That will be the quickest and easist method without setting up a samba server

Good Luck
