Is it possible to do reverse ?

I mean I want to do FTP from Windows client, to Unix server. But can I do import of file by opening FTP in Unix and get file from Windows Client ?

This is in continuty of Unzip in DS post.

I would use Samba. It makes UNIX appear as Windows server to Windows PCs. This allows you to write UNIX directory and read it from DOS.

Let us say your Samba share name was myshare and your UNIX machine name was server12. On DOS this would be available as \\server12\myshare.

Samba is easy to setup and can have security to it.
