You may use "rexec" from W2K to remotely start a process on 
a Linux box and then redirect the output to a file, like this:

   C:\Temp>rexec p92 "cd /local;tar cbf 64 - pst" > here.tar
   Name (p92.p.n.d.d:root):
   Password (p92.p.n.d.d:root):
   C:\Temp>dir here.tar
   Medium in Drive C: No designation
   Medium srl. no.: 582D-A5D8
   Directory C:\Temp
   20.11.2003  14:17        2.462.627.947 here.tar
               1 File(s)    2.462.627.947 Bytes
               0 Directory 46.868.381.696 Bytes free

So it's bigger than 2 GB.
