Do you have WSFTP95?

It depends if the remote Linux box is running an FTP server. If so, you can connect to it using an FTP program like WSFTP or CuteFTP.

There is a command you can use on the Linux box to check, unfortunately I can't remember it right now.

If it does, you should be able to get to the file that way.

Okay if your connecting with SSH use SFTP.

That's the openBSD manual page, you did say your using SSH if so the linux box is as well why the 'w/o running a server'?

If you are doing this from a windows box you can use winscp2.
