If you're going from Unix to Windows then you will need a Windows version of an ftp server running on the Windows box since Windows does not run this program natively (Windows only comes with the ftp client). Secondly, to be ssh driven it will need to have an sftp server installed to do this on the Windows server.

A different, and perhaps easier option, would be to install the Samba client, called smbclient, to transfer your files. You would need an account created in your Windows Domain, authenticate this account in the Domain and then use this account with your smbclient transfer. It will still require password authentication but this can be supplied via the command line.
