Possible to mount a specific directory on Linux server to a local Windows machine?

Solution 1:

If the server is local, you may want to look into creating Samba shares, which will behave exactly like a standard Windows share if configured correctly.

FTP and SCP also come to mind. If this server will be reached across the internet, I would highly recommend SCP.

WinSCP has a great command-line utility, as well as a corresponding graphical version.

Solution 2:

If the server is located within your "local" network (i.e: not across the internet) it might actually be considerably less hassle to set up a SMB (i.e.: Windows) share on the Linux server and let your Windows box access it in that manner.

Depending on your server configuration, if may already have the necessary software (Samba) installed - check your package manager for more details.
