cuteFTP is, IIRC, an ftp client. What you want is an ftp server. If you have another linux machine on the network you could samba mount the files you want (from the windows box), and then offer the mounted dir over ftp or http.
Incidentally this is how I installed RH on a laptop with a similar ethernet card (3com etherlink III) - I thought it'd be a pain to get the PCMCIA network card to play nice, but I stuck tomsrtbt in and to my surprise it autodetected it, all I had to do was give it an IP address. very nice (I don't know who it was who's mentioned tomsrtbt on this list before, but thanks, it rocks =) Then mount the local HD and wget the CD images I needed. Piece of cake =) So all you need is an http server, or an ftp server - if you don't have a linux box on the same network, you can probably find a free http server or ftp server for windows, but I wouldn't know anything about that... Unless.... I might be wrong, but can't you get apache for windows? Worth a look perhaps..
