I would install samba or httpd (like apache) or ftp server on your linux machine.
I know NFS can be accessed from Windows.... but considering it is her
PC, it is good idea not to have confusing program installed for her. All
samba, httpd, and ftpd servers can serve few "folders" to her machine
with R/W access if you configure. That should be sufficinet. (You may
wish to instal some SSH client so you can login to other machine without
reboot.)
