rsync and unison will do it unattended and both have windows binaries. 
Running a unison server listening on the NT box would allow you to
schedule the transfer from Linux - or do it the other way around - which
is just plain boring :)

rsync i haven't played with involving windows, but for unison, you can
run 'unison -socket 1234' in a cmd window and then hit it with the
unison Linux client.  By looking at the man page for all of 5 seconds
you'll discover the 2 switches that make it truely unattended.

You could also scp the file from an ssh server on the Linux box.

FTP could also do it in an automated way - although my example is linux
client based, it possibly still applies:
