I had a request or two to follow up on my findings on how to write an
amiga disk from a Sun workstation.  Here's my findings:

The easiest way to effect a transfer of files between a sparcstation and
an amiga is to buy the Sun product DOS-windows which allows among other
things reading and writing MS-DOS format disks on the SPARC's internal
3.5 inch drive.  Then, on the amiga end, I plan to use CrossDOS (I think
that's what it's called) to read the MS-DOS format files onto the amiga.
Definitely not ideal, and not really cheap (fortunately there's other
reasons for us to get DOS-windows at work so the $500 or whatever is
covered) but it seems that this will do (much better than Kermit, at
least!).
