How I do this is share an NFS share from Linux, and then map the driver in
Windows. To do this, I use an intermediary Debian system, which provides
the NFS share, from which the beaglebone simply mounts this NFS share. The
intermediary system also shares the same directory out to the Windows
system via Samba. Which makes it very easy to write code "remotely" on the
Windows, for the beaglebone. Then of course I simply compile locally to the
beaglebone using gcc.

You could even setup A Samba server on the beaglebone directly, but the
problem with that. Is that the shared Media will be flash media.
