Hmm, although there are some things in NTFS and HFS that are not available to the other system, as long as your file names are essentially Alphanumeric and you are not depending on the Resource fork, you should be able to transfer files with cut and paste. I have not speciffically tried folders, and I have no access to Windows 7. I would suggest that you try to use sftp or scp instead of SMB, it is more secure and more UNIX like.
1. Turn on remote login in your sharing pane. 2. Get a scp client 3. Copy files to your hearts content. I highly recommend that if any of your data is personal in nature, that you try and keep it on your local network and not push it up to another server. Once the file has been transfered out of your control, you can not ensure how long copies of it might be on backup storage, and you are dependent on a trust relationship with the service provider and any privaledged users they have on their system.
