From experience. There will be significant timing issues with this project.
***Will you run the transmit end as a loop within a script, or as a cron job?***
Will you run the controlling end (presumably windows) as a loop within a script or as a scheduled job?
On the transmit (unix) end the file will show in a directory listing when it is opened, so how will you prevent the ftp process from transmitting a partial file?
On the receive end(Windows), the file will not show in a directory listing until it is closed.
If you repeat file names, the windows end will not replace an open file.
If the file takes longer than one minute to transmit, how will you handle the next loop.
Other considerations:
email the file, and create an email recipient that is a process.
Create an LPR/LPD printer and have the Windows print driver be the receiving process.

bup-server
bup-server(1) General Commands Manual bup-server(1)
NAME
bup-server - the server side of the bup client-server relationship
SYNOPSIS
bup server
DESCRIPTION
bup server is the server side of a remote bup session. If you use bup-split(1) or bup-save(1) with the -r option, they will ssh to the
remote server and run bup server to receive the transmitted objects.
There is normally no reason to run bup server yourself.
MODES
smart In this mode, the server checks each incoming object against the idx files in its repository. If any object already exists, it
tells the client about the idx file it was found in, allowing the client to download that idx and avoid sending duplicate data.
This is bup-server's default mode.
dumb In this mode, the server will not check its local index before writing an object. To avoid writing duplicate objects, the server
will tell the client to download all of its .idx files at the start of the session. This mode is useful on low powered server hard-
ware (ie router/slow NAS).
FILES
$BUP_DIR/bup-dumb-server
Activate dumb server mode, as discussed above. This file is not created by default in new repositories.
