What is it that you're looking for? You can limit a Samba share to a
specific user and (I think) IP address, and give Linux permissions to
that user to only a few files or directories. Is there more you need?
You can audit the transactions that happen on the share by increasing
the logging level of the Samba share.

PuTTY offers a means of implementing scp on Windows, and I've set up
some batch files that do scheduled copies via scp. There are security
issues, since its difficult to protect a key file in Windows from
unsecured access. With Pagant, you can keep the key only in memory,
but you'll need to reload it each time the machine restarts -- I do
this for some client servers that are supposed to stay running 24x7.
If the client machine is relatively secure, you could just keep the
key file on disk.
