A1: You can mount a share using NFS, but for one time copy I would recommend you scp.

Code:

man scp

A2: You will need samba for this.

You can mount your windows share on Ubuntu using something like:

Code:

mount -t cifs -o username=user,password=pass //winIP/sharename /mnt/win_share

For Linux to Win (mount Linux folder on Win) share you need to configure a samba share.
