am assumig you know scp is part of ssh...
if you have administrator priviledges on the win98/win2k boxes..
download and install ( free or commercial versions of ) ssh that runs on
MS windoze boxes
http://www.Linux-Sec.net/SSH ( windoze clients on the bottom )
if you dont have administrator access... you're probably hosed...
-- some say look for a new company to work at ...
or failing that drastic step... try using https instead for secure
web-based transfers....
- there's always floppys too
and there's always secure ftp servers/clients also in the ssh2 package
