There are lots of ways.  You can run Samba on your Linux machine and use it
as a client (just like your Windows systems).  Or you could use FTP, as you
mentioned (try it, it's probably already set up...)  Or you could share the
directories you're interested in on the SCO system and mount them with NFS
from the Linux machine and access them just like a local filesystem.  Lots
of options!
