Fair enough. ssh is king.
To summarize the thread - the Windows to Linux connection over the WAN
has a few options
ssh - requires MS services for Unix on the Windows boxes, secure, strong
authentication, good for transferring large files, or large numbers of
files over the WAN
Webdav - no client installation in Windows, Apache on Linux, basic or
mixed authentication, suitable for small numbers or smallish files over
the WAN
Samba - no client installation in Windows, smb on Linux, authentication
- take your choice, good LAN solution, arguable over the WAN
ftp - occasional, on demand or client driven access over WAN, security a
concern for the host running the ftp service

Results from type ssh metatron (the host name of one of my windows machines)
Welcome to the Interix UNIX utilities.
DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
-bash-3.00$ ssh -V
OpenSSH_3.9p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004

Results from copying a file from cable (a linux machine) to metatron
in a directory c:\SFU\zzz (The c:\SFU\ is the SFU base directory).
Note that xxx (not the real logon) on cable is mapped to the
administrative login on metatron (no it's not Administrator) and
the proper .ssh directory has the needed keys in the correct authorized_users
file.

Don't make any pronuncments about performance, the file was only
1915 bytes. If anyone cares it's a recipe for japanese seaweed salad. :-)
