If I understand the question correctly, you want to downalod the file using
Windows NT (to your C: drive I presume). If you do this, then you need to
mount this drive in Linux so as to copy the file across. If NT is on an NTFS
partition then mount it with something like
mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/winnt
You'll need kernel support for NTFS file systems (this module is included in
most distros). It's also recommended to mount read-only as NTFS write support
is unstable. If it's a fat partition, then change the -t ntfs to -t vfat.
Then you can copy the downloaded file to your home dir by
cp /mnt/winnt/file.gz ~/
