moving files across network

Hi,

I have two windows PCs, one of the being win98 ( not win98se, so workgroup
stuff doesn't work, i.e. win98 cannot see win2k in the network
neighbourhood, even if they belong to the same group ). I can see a couple
of other solutions, i.e. installing ftp or ssh server on win2k. But I am
just curious, is there a dedicated freeware which will allow me to move
files between 2 PCs on a peer to peer basis via TCP/IP ( not direct
connect)? I found shareware File Tunnel, but it's not freeware, and it's
awkward for copying multiple files from multiple directories. I looked at
a couple of P2P programs, but they all seem to require authenticating
against the central server, which I don't want/need.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried NetBeui protocol on both systems? I'd be surprised if
it won't allow file sharing. Don't enable file sharing over TCP/IP, as
that will expose them to hacking by other internet users.
