You need to set up Samba on your Mandrake box. Maybe http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/answers.php?action=viewarticle&artid=395 can help.

You also setup an ftp server on linux and transfer files that way. If you have sshd already running ( ps -A |grep sshd ), then you should just be able to use an sftp client on windows to send and receive files to and from the linux box.

Heh, I didn't realize you could use SSH with FTP. This is useful for me, thanks dduardo!
