am assumig you know scp is part of ssh...

if you have administrator priviledges on the win98/win2k boxes..
download and install ( free or commercial versions of ) ssh that runs on
MS windoze boxes
	http://www.Linux-Sec.net/SSH  ( windoze clients on the bottom )

if you dont have administrator access... you're probably hosed...
  -- some say look for a new company to work at ... 
or failing that drastic step... try using https  instead for secure 
web-based transfers....
	- there's always floppys too

and there's always secure ftp servers/clients also in the ssh2 package
