Which is the client and which is the server?  If XP is the server you 
can use TightVNC.  Get the latest version from http://www.tightvnc.com 
(1.3.9) and use the Windows VNC Viewer on the Ubuntu Client under WINE.  
Then you can use the file transfer option in the toolbar.  I've done 
this, it works but isn't very graceful.  I believe Ultr at VNC also does this.

Afaik the Linux version of TightVNC does not support file transfers.
