I guess they can't install ANYTHING (which is probably good for you), but
I find it hard to believe that WinScp would be too hard to download and
use (there's no install--just a working static binary). I taught a friend
how to use it over the phone. He was a smart friend, though. :)

If it's windows, what about samba? I find that to be most intuitive to
windows users, and you don't need to do anything w/ their boxes to get it
to work.
