Can anyone tell me if there's a way that I can transfer UNIX system data into Excel Spreadsheets? I've been told that this should be possible without the need for a FTP server (as I do not have one anymore).:michaelan

You should be able to do that, it depends on the file-type [on unix] that you want to transfer into Excel.
If it's existing data then you should look in the data / file and see what the separator is that is used [space / comma / colon or like], make it a standard
that can be used by excel and then import the file under import sheet.
If that does not work you might want to try open-office to import and then
save under excel format, that might do the job.
