You can install Samba on your linux server. Most Linux servers have that package installed.


It allows you to make network shares that you can access with Windows machines.


If you install SWAT as well you have a web-browswer interface to configure your SAMBA server. Browse to %26lt;server-address%26gt;:901 and you get the SWAT control screen; you can do almost anything from there.





Samba is such an easy way to share files that I use it between two Linux machines - no windows involved.
Reply:wget (via ssh of course) command is the easiest for me.





Or even various FTP apps will do. Not all of them, but some of them allow two remote connected servers to transfer files between each other.
Reply:Plain old fashioned scp, winscp is an adapted version since natively Windows did not support ssh.
