Alice, If the two Windows machines are on the same network, you can try to use Windows' file sharing to do the job for you. For instance, include('\\servername\dirname\filename.php'); Using HTTP from Windows to Windows would yield the same results as using HTTP from Linux to Windows. You could host the files on a server that does not parse PHP, and so they would be transmitted as plain text... but then you get into issues of disclosing their contents to parties you would rather leave in the dark (read: hackers). You might consider using FTP, SCP, or another behind-the-scenes file transfer agent to accomplish what it is you're trying to do. I believe PHP already has several functions for use with FTP.
