I use FTP or SFTP when I have to share files on my network.
To use FTP, the server should install the server daemon, thusly:
apt-get install pure-ftpd
It should configure itself adequately
Then, on the Windows computer, install an FTP client. I use FileZilla on
Windows (google 'filezilla').
You'll need to tell Filezilla the IP address of the server on your
network, typically something like 192.168.1.xxx. Log in to the server
with your username/password that you normally use. Once you're in, you
have access to the files and directories that you normally would. You
can download or upload any file you have access to.
