DSL Tips and Tricks :: network file transfer: XP machine--> linux machine

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
Sarah

hi sarah, i will try that tonight

and let you know

WinSCP works thru SCP thru SSH

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

Good Luck
