Subject to what security constraints? (1) Transfer over the 'net? (2) Internal transfer but with 'net-connected machines? (3) Firewalled (or unconnected) to the 'net?
mailslots are a solution (though one I've not applied) on the windows platform, can that be applied acros a samba network, or is a simple shared file with a daemon syunchronising the displays every second a better answer?
A network file system will do fine if security isn't an issue. That's a theme on which there are, of course, several variants. If security is an issue, you'd want something designed to run over the 'net. A frontend to scp, or a filemanager in a signed applet, could fit the bill.
