I want to make this folder available only for this windows server so that there is no need to configure passwords.
Which is the best way to do that?

Set up Samba on your Linux box, and share that folder out. Map a network drive in Windows to that folder, and you're done.
Or, you could enable NFS server on Linux, and load NFS utilities on your Windows box, and mount it that way, but Samba would be the easiest. There are lots of basic tutorials for Samba out there on Google, and what you're wanting to do is very basic...you should have no problems.
