You could also Samba share the destination directory on the UNIX 
machine, then use Windows Scheduler to "move c:\somedir\file1.xls 
\\unixhost\sambashare\file1.xls"

The Samba share can be locked down to only allow connections from a 
specific IP address, and if you use "security = share" and "guest ok = 
yes" then you can do this copy without needing to provide a password.
