It's a bit tricky to set up, but is much more flexible and transparent to use than ftp.

Directories can be shared out on Linux so that Win98 can mount them as it would any other Microsoft shared directory -- complete with user and password mapping.

Never again will you grovel for forgiveness because you missed your significant other's birthday or anniversary, or forgot to pay a bill.
