Fransen/King, Ltd., 1-800-6220630 or (206) 564-4000, offer a 2-user version
of their FTP for only $1,000.  Perhaps they would consider a rental at say
$100/month?
 
Hey! If it is just ASCII files though, you could perhaps use a contributed
program (by yours truly) called MPED. This program allows users on HP-UX
system to issue commands on a remote HP3000.  I've transferred files by
simply issuing a :PRINT command and redirecting the IO to a file.  E.G.
 
$ mpe SYS3K print myfile >mylocal
 
The files are in the Interex CSL (ask John Sullivan) and on Jeff Kell's opus
machine.
 
Ahh but you've got a Sun machine???  Hmmm....  Well I could send you the
source to the client if you've got a ANSI C compiler on condition you don't
distribute it, and you mail me back the binary! :)
 
Another possible solution, is using the contributed JTMAIL program which I
wrote (blush again). This would allow you to simply e-mail the file to a
user on your Unix system.  With something like "procmail" this could
automatically be picked up, the headers stripped, gently massaged and
appended into a file.
 
Well I guess there are a number of ways of firing your files into the Sun. :)
 
Regards.
