As always, reading the docs is useful. The notes section (at least on 
the 1.17 version on CPAN) says 'File::Remote only works on Unix'. Also, 
in the next paragraph it says 'The main caveat to |File::Remote| is that 
you have to have rsh/rcp or ssh/scp access to the hosts you want to 
manipulate files on.' While I guess this could be achieved with Windows 
(and without having looked in the source, maybe it would overcome the 
'only works on Unix' hurdle), it not something that is typically there 
and you don't indicate whether this is so.

What's wrong with 'copy \\someothermachine\someshare\somefile 
\\thismachine\someshare'?
