This is easier done from the Win95 box.  

. You need a terminal with some sort of download protocol(s).  I believe
hyperterm supports Zmodem so that should help things.

. You need to install the rzsz port on the FreeBSD machine.  This is
available from ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD/ports-2.2.2/comm.  

To do the transfer:

1.  From the Windows box, dial into and log into the FreeBSD machine.

2.  From the FreeBSD command prompt, type

sz file

where `file' is the name of the file to transfer.

3.  The transfer should start automatically, if your terminal supports it.
When you're done, the file is on the local machine in the download
directory or location specified.

Hope this helps.  Doing this by script is a bit more difficult, but
modifying a login script to do a little more may be a way to go.
