For files transfer, the best is to use SAMBA. But, remeber that NTFS is ready only for samba. One alternative is to create a Fat32 partition on win side to allow file transfers.
I'd have to agree with the first sentence of this statement, but not with the rest of it.
If you're running Linux and Windows, regardless of which one is host and which one is guest, your best bet is to set up the guest OS with a virtual network adapter and run SAMBA. That way, you would just treat it like you have two machines on a network. Additionally, when you're working with SAMBA, it's irrelevant which filesystem the OS has that you're copying files to. If you're copying from the Linux system to the Windows system, it will work just fine whether the Windows system is running NTFS or FAT.
I should know-- I'm constantly copying files between *nix boxen and Win2k servers running NTFS!
