The easiest solution, if you can open the firewall:
1. Open up port 80 and/or 443 (ssl) in the firewall
    (if you need password protection you need ssl)
2. Install a http server (iis or pws is easiest).
3. Turn on directory index so users get a list of the files available
    (no need for html editing this way :-).
4. Then password protect the directory/files through NTFS permissions if
needed.

If you want to use the linux server, this is how I
synchronize files from windows to linux via ftp: (not very pretty ;-)

1. Make a wsh script (or whatever) which records all files (filenames)
in a directory, and puts them in a textfile (c:\sync\ftpcommand.txt) in
a certain format. This textfile will be fed to ftp.exe later.
It should look like this:

user ftpuser ftppassword
lcd c:\sync\files
put file1.zip
put file2.zip
quit

2. Then create a batch file (c:\sync\dosync.bat) like this:

ftp -n -d -s:c:\sync\ftpcommands.txt [linux-ip-address]

3. Make a new entry in sheduled tasks, and browse for the batch file

Hope this helps,
