Why not Samba? Requires no client for W2k clients.
Otherwise you have to use something like NFS.
Just google for NFS WINDOWS 2000

Sorry, I know you said not SAMBA, but in my opinion, SAMBA is the way to go
for doing what you want. You only need to install it on the Linux computer
then you can view, drag and drop, etc., files using windows explorer in
win2k.

because i know zip about linux.
probably don't have much time to devote to learning, either.
we have a linux box up and running.
is the GUI a tiny bit as friendly as windows?
also - is SAMBA good for UNIX?

Then you may ask someone familiar with it to assist you.
I suppose this will cost you less than fees for NFS clients.
Rhetoric question: And no one knows what it is good for?
Use SWAT and you have a browser based GUI.
That question doesn't make sense to me.
Which UNIX derivate do you mean? AIX, DEC Ultrix, SINIX, Solaris,
FreeBSD, MINIX, IRIX, HP UX, SCO Unixware or another? Linux is a UNIX
derivate, too.
And: Yes, SAMBA is available for some of the platforms above (and some
more).

linux is not that difficult to learn & samba 3 works a treat with windows
2000 & xp. On a 2k server it will even intergrate with AD.
Save yourself the $$ and use Samba 3.0

well we also have a nice mac set up - in our learning lab.
noone is really using LINUX yet but a few have UNIX servers.
my need, as it turns out, is to simply locate and copy a text file create my
a machine attched to a UNIX PC.
that's why i'd prefer something that runs on windows that allows me to see a
UNIX drive.
i shouldn't have to learn a new OS just to copy a file.
the vender of this UNIX based equipment hasn't been very helpful as they
have no knowledgable tech people on staff.
i tried writing a communications program based on their spec but their
software doesn't do what they think it is supposed to.
more than you want to know...
SWAT eh?
yeah, been there.

Maybe you're wrong.
Anything offering services may be called a server.
A machine able to share drives/volumes/shares is a file
server.
A machine running ftp server (Unix-syntax: demon) is a ftp
server.

yes.
i believe this UNIX box is configured very minimally.
just enough stuff to run some proprieatry software stand-alone - no network
connection.
