Make connection between Office Network (Windows XP) and Plant Network (SCO UNIX) for file transfer.
I have two networks namely Office Network running on Windows XP and Plant Network running on SCO UNIX (SCO OpenServer (TM) Release 5). The Subnet Mask for both networks is different. (Office Network 255.255.255.192 whereas Plant Network 255.255.0.0). I have made one PC on Office Network as an interface PC by installing an additional network card to have physical connection between Office PC and UNIX Server. I believe I need to install some program in SCO UNIX Server so that I will have connection i.e. Samba. I want data to be transferred from this UNIX Server to Office PC.
My questions are:
1. How can I make the network configuration to make connection between these two?
2. How can I make the file transferred from UNIX Server to Office Network PC?
3 How can I automate the file transfer i.e. daily?

1. Since I have 2 NIC on Windows XP PC, different Subnet Mask will not be a problem to make connection between them without a router I guess? But I could not see SCO server from this Windows PC. How can I do this?
2. Yes, I prefer only one direction SCO -> PC and the file transfer only from two directories. Please advice which option should I use if I do not want any possibilities for hacker from PC to SCO server. Please also give me steps instruction how to do this. How to make the file transferred to Windows PC in text format?
3. Could you give me the script?

2. do you mean transfer this direction only: SCO->PC where SCO pushes? then you best install some kind of ftp-server on your PC
or do you mean transfer from SCO->PC where the PC pulls? then either ftp server on SCO, or Samba on SCO, or NFS client on PC and NFS server on SCO
3. a) push from SCO: simply create a crontab entry
b) pull from PC: AFAIK there're som "task managers" arround which can do the same as cron does on SCO
