However in any case, it would be much better to use scp if you want to use something like that, rather than Windows based shares. As scp works via openssh, and therefore uses encrypted transport and trusted hosts (public/private keys) and there are open source ssh/scp servers for windows. But if this is copying to many Windows clients, then you want a server based solution that pushes using a protocol that is already available on Windows, hence Samba. As ever, make sure take care to consider the security angles.
