Copy files between two web servers...

I have a need to have a web server (windows based) grab files each week from
a linux based server - hosted elsewhere. I cannot use UNC paths.

I want to have a script (.asp/asp.net) on the windows server that I would
provide a list of files to copy. The script would then copy the listed files.

The problem is that the using a filestream and copyto runs into an error
with URI paths.

This will be a substantial amount of data each week. I don't want to copy
it locally and then back up to the windows web server. I want/need the copy
to be directly between the two servers.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Are the two servers on the same network?

If so, why not just use FSO?....and if not, would FTP/RSync do? (I *believe*
you can get RSync for Windows)
