Quite true. The only things are that: he's already running Samba
on the Linux box (see machine #01 above); and he wants to copy *onto* 
the Windows box (machine #02 above). That said, I entirely agree that
it's more of an O/S thing than a language thing and there are no few
possible solutions. (Of course, you could implement a Python-only
solution using, say, Pyro or some home-grown SocketServer, but there
would be an element of wheel-reinvention involved).
