you should have a ftp server running on irix by default. Use something like filezilla, connect to your irix ftp from windows, and you should be able to send/get files using filezilla no problem. Key point though - simple ftp treats text files and binary files different, you need to specify under "Transfer -> Transfer Type" if its a text file or binary file. don't trust "auto"

Can you give filezilla a try, try to connect to your irix ftp using filezilla and let us know how that goes
