And just to add another option: you could "pull" it... run a cron job (script/program/etc) on the linux box that pings some flag/script/etc on your windows CF box on a regular basis. This has it's own drawbacks [functional, timeliness, and resource], but potentially from a security perspective it may be better.

There are definitely security considerations with that approach, though. Doing it via SSH will likely be the most secure.
