Another possibility is the popular (?) public domain PCmail package (of which i
have a copy) that provides a few dos .EXEs that emulate the uucp protocol and
would allow your mentor's machine to be treated as a unix site, for the
purposes of the file transfers.  Then, you could simply:

$ uuto files mentor!hislogin

Of course, this won't work for interactive down loads, but you could leave his
site on overnight in a polling mode to pick up files from your site.
