File transfer between 2 boxes on intranet

Is there a faster way to transfer file from a WinXP Pro and a Centos box I my nic cards and Router support up to 1 gig per second transfers but I have no idea how to get so I can use it. Any ideas?

 

Fast than what? What are you currently using to do file transfers?

 

regular ftp program WS_FTP connected to ftpd useing the instranet ip of the server. I figured useing the intranet ip to conect would let me use atleast half of the 1gig per second internal network speeds. its slower then connecting to a sever 3k miles away.

 

I am new at this type of stuff, but I think NFS is good enough. If the CentOS is the fileserver, you make it the NFS server and the winxp the client. I also believe you can do it the other way around with xp as server, and centos as client. Not sure if it would get up to 1gb/s, but it should be faster than FTP.

 

any one have a step by step how to set this up?
