There is a really good FTP program out there that i've been using for a long time on Windoze systems. It's called WS_FTP, and is available for free download to individual and educational users. If you're a business, they expect you to pay, but it doesn't cost much.

I have to agree with Jason. FTP fits your needs, as you described
them. Once you've got your two machines talking via the x-over cable
you can ftp from the command/DOS prompt of the windoze box. You can
use this client to "put" files to your Linux box or "get" them from
it. This is the easier way, since your Linux box probably has an ftp
server installed already. There are some free/shareware easy to
install ftp servers for Windoze, but it sounded like you were not
interested in installing any additional software.
C:\> ftp user@[hostname or IP]
You will get prompted for the password of the user, then you are off!
The Windoze command line ftp client are mostly like the Unix ones, but
if you need help you can try the Windoze command help. Microsoft seems
to change the help switch on every version of Windoze, this works on
Win95:
C:\> ftp --help
I seem to remember this working on some other version
C:\> ftp /help
Have fun.
