You can share the folder in windows and access it through samba in linux.

Or you could use CIFS, as this post explains:
HOWTO: Mounting SMB/CIFS Shares

This might look difficult at first, but it explains everything you could need mounting a Windows share in Linux.

Once you mounted it, you can run a simple bash-script to copy the files using cp or rsync or any other copy tool.


Another, completely different idea would be setting up cygwin on your windows to run a rsync daemon, then using rsync to copy the files. I guess it depends on your "personal style" what you prefer
