Have Linux be the SMB server and Windows be the client. Rather than Windows writing to a local directory and you trying to get that via SMB, you can have Windows writing to a remote directory via SMB and you getting it locally. 2. Install Cygwin on the Windows system, along with SSH and/or rsync. rsync is great for incrementally synchronising entire trees. You'd launch it from either system as needed. Both should be easier to use than smbclient, which I find rather archaic in terms of interface.
