Uhm, portable hard disk drive, tape, removable-media drive (such as
Zip/Jaz devices), a Local Area Network (either ethernet/wireless
ethernet/whatever, or serial null-modem cable, or find a way to get win
talking to PLIP), IrDA, split the file into a number of 1.4Mb files, and
rejoin them on the linux machine.

If you get a network up, you can use Samba + windows networking, FTP,
windows versions of rsync/rcp, I think PuTTY/windows can interact with the
OpenSSH v3 sftp subsystem.

Unless you're never going to use a connection between the two again,
probably writing the files to a CDRW is easiesr (assuming you have a CDRW
drive, and spare media).

Of course, you could always connect the Linux box to the Internet to
download them...
