Q about transfering files...

I have about 3 gigs of files that I want to transfer from my office to my home. Both my office and home have fast internet connections so speed is not a problem. My workstation at work is on a small network with a Red Hat Linux server. I do not have any firewall info. I do not want to put all these files on cd's and bring them home. Is there any way I can just directly link my computer at home to my workstation at work and download the files over the internet?
Yes, I am serious. You can mock me all you like (as long as you help me )
Thanks in advance! :D

If you had OSX I would recommend SSH. But since ur stuck on 9, just burn them to CD's
NM:
Take the home computer to the office and set up an ftp connection. I assume you have a 100MB connection, so that shouldn't take long.
Or burn them, it will take 4-5CDs (math is not my forte).
Pissed_Macman:
What about that program called PC2Mac (or something like that)? It's supposed to transfer all your files from Windows to Mac I hear. I can't find it at the Apple website anymore though.
TheGreatPoo:
Thanks for the replies everyone. If I seem ignorant, it's because I am. I have never setup a FTP connection before. I will have to research that a bit. The files I have to transfer will work on both Mac and PC. Most are little video clips that I donwloaded and accumulated in my spare time. I realize that downloading 3 gigs will take a long time but it is still easier to do that then to take up my bosses time (His computer is the only one in the office with a burner) with burning 6 CD's.
Thanks again for the replies and for reading. My apologies for the ignorance.

Is your boss not bothered about you using 3gb of his bandwidth?
Is your workstation at work visible to the internet? The simplest solution would be to take your machine into work.
