What is your network situation like? Are you behind a corporate 
firewall? In that case, you might risk an FTP server.

Otherwise, could you serve up the files as Web links from the Mac OS X 
box? It should be easy to script fetching of Web pages using curl.

On the other hand, I might not know what I am talking about....

Best wishes,
Clint
