Create a directory on the windows system and share it. Mount the windows 
share onto the Linux system. Now you can rsync.

Here is how to mount a windows share:

/bin/mount -t smbfs -o username=<windows username>,password=<windows 
password> //<windows host>/<windows share>  /mnt/data

Example:

/bin/mount -t smbfs -o username=bgates,password=moron   
//windoze/data    /mnt/data

Here is how to rsync: (Note the are many options to rsync, these are 
just the ones I use)

rsync  -rvlopgtu /path/to/linux/data /mnt/data/

Hope this helps,
Chuck
