how can i tell? it seems to be working... i entered the user name and password and it worked out fine. i get a reply that says: you are now logged in... remote system is UNIX... binary blabla... whatever that means.

i just don"t know how to transfer files... i thought move or cp would be right. i think i'm logged in.

my windows XP is totall broke. many hll files are missing... it"s not working at all... so there's no firewall

Assuming you are logged in in a DOS or unix prompt, accessing your dying machine from the other one, in a DOS type FTP session:

(don't type the stuff in parenthesis)
bin (sets binary mode, you will want this since source and target are both Windows.  Other type is 'asc' which changes text files from Unix to DOS format by converting end-of-line characters.)

hash (optional, shows ## as progress marks, lets you know transfer is not dead)

prompt (disables/enables prompting for each file - sometimes you want this, sometimes not)

cd [directory] (changes to a directory on server)

lcd [local directory] (changes local directory)

ls (shows files on server)

!dir (shows local files - ![any DOS command] works too)

get [filename] - (gets one file, exact name, case sensitive.  I think that you would just put double quotes around files with spaces in them, not totally sure)

mget [filename or wildcard] (gets multiple files.  This is what you want to do, probably.  Try "mget *" or "mget Contac*" to get your file named "Contact Info.doc".)
--------
You will still need to manually 'cd' to each directory you want to get files from.  Then '!mkdir [local_dir_name], then 'lcd [local_dir_name] to the new directory you just created, and 'mget *' to get all your files.  Repeat as needed for all your files.
So:

bin
hash
prompt
cd [source dir]
lcd [target dir]
mget *

(repeat from here as needed)
cd [source dir]
lcd [target dir]
mget *

(repeat for every directory you want to move)

Grope - could you provide the error messages when something fails.  

I always quote the entire line when dealing with spaces like

mget "/mnt/hda1/Dokumente und Einstellungen/media/NIKON Fotos"
