How to copy files from a Windows xp to a Red Hat Linux machine.
Please give me the steps to do the above procedure.

There's a number of ways you can do this and the best method will depend on
both your skills, the size of the files and resources available.

1) The most straight forward method would be to copy the files to removable
media (CD/DVD).

2) SCP is another option, you'll need an SSH client to do this, for which
I'd recommend Putty and PSCP *

comfortable working from the command line. Alternatively use WinSCP *

if you prefer to use an explorer type interface

Or

3) Setup an SMB share on the Linux box using Samba. This option is worth
considering if you intend to move files to and from on a regular basis.
