The world is divided into two nice neat groups :-)
Those who can deal with the security walls built around
our networking implementions.
And those who cannot deal with it.
Your Windows machine, already has SAMBA running on it,
as Windows file sharing. Most of the Linux clients will
already be able to talk to the Windows box immediately,
without installing packages.
The more modern the Windows box is, the more pesky
is the security. When I set older Windows boxes for
wide open permissions, it usually works. A more modern
Windows can be annoying you with the authentication
box when it isn't needed.
In terms of approaches, you can "push" or "pull" files.
On my network, the choice is made based on the
performance asymmetry. One of my machines only
does 20MB/sec over GbE, so I need to "push" from
that machine, to a machine that can do 112MB/sec
continuously. One direction can be five times
faster than the other direction, in terms of
who has the server, and who is the client.
Adding additional interfacing standards, is I suppose
like playing the lottery. But generally, on modern
tools, it's pretty hard to shake the concepts
of security - virtually everything will involve
SSH or use passwords, and involve messing around.
(Windows 8 has HomeGroup, which is fine for homogenous
environments, but useless for anything else, and I
don't use that here. The odds of two machines using
that at the same time, is slim.)
Only twenty years ago, did we have tools that implemented
"private" authentication. You could set up account
"joe" password "joe" and it would apply only to your
FTP server. Rather than relying on the accounts and
passwords used by the OS. Those were the good days,
when it was easy to do stuff.
Now, you will find OSes which deprecate the easy
ways, and only leave the hard ways.
*******
And while they claim to be making very fast
USB3 flash sticks, the benchmarks don't always
pan out.

You could always stick an SSD inside a USB3 enclosure
that has UASP support, and give that a try as
a substitute for a flash stick. Then transfer
the stuff via sneakernet.

And if you're bored, you can try this. For rcp usage.
