I'm not sure if there is a "best practice". Your idea of Windoze pulling a file might actually be easier...

In your script you should have something like: ftp -n < yourftpcommands.ftp yourftpcommands.ftp should look like this: open targethostname user theguest theguest prompt cd yourstoredir put yourfiletostore.xxx bye The targethostname should be set up in /etc/hosts Your target host should have a non priveledged account like theguest And your target host should run a ftp daemon to accept the transaction. We use RapidFTP from Lan Workplace Pro.
