What security concerns does the customer have?   What version(s)
of Windows?   What format are the documents?  Do you need to
log views?   Does the client want a particular Windows file viewer?

Try to stick with sshd as it is generally the first service to be installed
that
provides network access to files.   Create a chroot jail for the user(s)
who will view the documents.

Many editors have support for scp.
