[QUOTE="XJ-linux, post: 1512572, member: 33722"] Unix is the "DOS" underpinning for Mac OS X. cp, sftp, rcp or scp may be your best bet. Were I to be copying over a network from a client to a server (without any NFS mounts in place) I'd opt for a passwordless-capable secure transfer like scp, rcp or sftp - depending upon which system I wanted to push/pull the data. They script easily enough and after you set up the initial RSA keys, you are good to go indefinitely for any other secure scripting. Heck, you could even cron it up on your Unix box so that any files you download to the Mac get sent to the Windows server at regular intervals, even if you forget to send them to the Windows server manually!
