Are you doing this from the Windows box?
or are you trying to do this from linux to a ftp server on the windows
machine?

I'm not sure what all your requirements are but you could use samba instead
of ftp since you already will be dealing with windows networking by opening
up file sharing.  Then copying files from linux to windows would be as easy
as drag-and-drop and the same as windows-to-windows copying.
Unless you are looking to automate this whole thing using cron jobs.  It
would help to know what machine this will all be  done from.

For Windows-to-Windows, you should be able to just share the drive
(right-click, "Sharing", etc.). If the drive is on a NT machine, you need to
make sure that you specify the correct permissions for the users involved.

Sorry if I didn't address the problem correctly, please send us more
details.
