The quickest, easiest way to get stuff onto a *nix workstation is to get it hooked up to your local network (not computer-to-computer - hook it into your home router) and set up FTP access. Dead easy once you've gotten that taken care of. You'll want to set it up with a static IP outside of your router's DHCP range, so you don't have to keep checking if its address has changed. It looks like IRIX might have FTP enabled by default from the documentation I'm reading, but I don't have my SGIs hooked up to check at the moment. If so, you should be able to connect to your Indy with your own user credentials using any standard FTP client (FileZilla is my go-to) as soon as it's on the network.
