Contents from windows? And the script? I couldnt bind them together..

For using windows for reaching the files stored in linux, check -> "samba".
You can also consider using NFS. Nfs export from Linux, and nfs mount on windows.

Just build the mechanism and test it with the manual use first. Then, you can focus and write that script according to your needs.

For that, you can use a web server (such as Apache) on the Linux side.
You install & configure Apache and make it server your files to outside via urls. But you need to make it secure (just a reminder..)
