Be more specific.
"One Window system to my local window system" isn't really specific as to what you want to do.

If you are trying to FTP a file then just say I am trying to ftp a file with PSFTP.

tks.

is actually get files from a remote windows box into my local system (also running in win xp).

please further advice.

I don't think ftp/PSFTP can be use for the connection part.

Details would really help.
When you say remote do you mean another computer not on your local network and is on the Internet some where? If so this really isn't a batch file related question which is what this forum is really all about. From reading and replying to your other posts it doesn't sound you know too much about computer networking. Copy files to and from one computer is a client/server technology. Copying files to and from other computers on your local network is rather trivial these days but if you are doing it over the Internet you at least have to have some basic understanding of networking and what technologies you can use to transfer files over the Internet. FTP was the most common way to do this for many years but depending on how much security you want involved it gets a little more complicated from there.

That is basics Windows file sharing and is not a batch related question. Google search for how to share folders on Windows XP. Once you have the setup and working you can basically use the COPY or Xcopy commands to move files to and from computers on your local network.
