Hi David,

Thanks for your response.

My requirement is only for files transfer betwenn WinXP and "cygwin" not 
via another software.  Before I made use of Samba to do the job.  Currently 
I make use of Internet to help me, dispatching the file as attachment to an 
email from WinXP to myself and download it on Linux and vice versa.  The 
max size of file allowed is 10MB.  It is quite sufficient for me.  But I am 
looking for some other alternatives, if possible.

I will take a look on 'scp'.  Is it on "cygwin.com" website?  But I could 
not find this package there.  What is the correct name of this package?

Thanks

Stephen
