UNIX Connection

How can I setup a direct connection to a unix box from my pc desktop.
I want to edit program files on the Unix directly without FTP-ing back and forth to my PC.
We did this at one of my previous work sites, but I can't remember how it was setup. It made the editing process so very easy.

You need a Samba server running on the unix box. I work very successfully using a Linux box with a Windoze front-end.
Do you have someone who can set up the samba server?

Samba will definitely do it - set it up on your Unix box, define the shares, and you can then access your Unix shares as if it were just another PC drive. I do this when editing locally on a LAN.
If you're trying to access the Unix box from outside the LAN/firewall, you'll need to either use Telnet, SSH or FTP to get to the box.

I also use rexec from the pc with TextPad's tools so I can compile on unix from my PC using TextPad.
A great set of tools can be purchase/download from:

Window's from the NT line have rexec build in but doesn't have the -p option to specify the password, so I found it less than usable.
