If your linux box is running an ssh server you don't need samba. Simply
use the putty tools `pscp` or `psftp` from:

  http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

from the windows machine. Typical usage:

  # list available files
  pscp -ls mauro@xubuntu:/home/mauro/downloads

  # move the file
  pscp mauro@xubuntu:/home/mauro/downloads/big_file big_file

`pageant` is putty's ssh authentication agent.
