Most probably, but since nothing is installed on the windows box, I
guess I'm just borderline..

All those ideas are very interresting but demand quite a work to be
usable and user-friendly. I think I'll stick to my current solution,
send files by email (or sometimes by ftp).

Yes, but no. As I said in my last post to Toby, I couldn't manage to
make it work and I don't understand why.

I use sshfs between linux boxes without any problems, but from a windows
box to my debian server, no success yet. But discussing how to make it
work seems to me slightly off-topic on this list.


Many thanks for your help.

Have a nice day,
