I use ws_ftp pro because it is easy and it also does a good job of 
rearranging the folder lists in newest to oldest date order. Older 
versions used to remember you were doing that but I is still easy to 
do. Similar products on FreeBSD haven't worked as well. So, I ftp from 
my w2k server to both of the servers I use. 

I also use Adobe's GoLive to maintain my html pages and haven't found 
anything on FreeBSD that will do what I want it to do better. Quanta on 
KDE does somethings better than GoLive, so , it is easy to work on both 
machines and then copy the quanta modified sources back to the w2k 
machine. This also provides a back up in case one HD fails.

I try to separate my systems and wouldn't use samba unless I couldn't do 
it any other way.
