Best way to get files from Unix/Linux share to Windows Server (Programatically within .Net application)

Hi all,
Thanks for looking this post. My question is:
What's the Best/Reliable/Easy way to get files from Unix/Linux share to Windows(Programatically within .Net application)? I need to create an application/service that runs continuously to watch for that unix/linux share and get files. Currently, I have a .net code that maps Unix/Linus share as a network drive on Windows Server with userid impersonation and gets files on Windows Server and then disconnect mapped share.  That works fine. But, it has overheads of mapping network drive at runtime and then disconnect after it's done.
Is there any better way to do this Programatically within .Net application?

Thanks for advice. Unfortunately, the unix/linux box is out of my control. I may not be able to get it setup as FTP.

I think, that share is a SAMABA share. I am not 100% sure. Since I am able to access it from Windows, doesn't it indicate that it has Samba and I read somewhere that it's a samba? (this server is out of my control).
