I have the same setup and exchange files between Windows PCs and Freebsd using FTP. I enable the builtin FTP server in /etc/inetd.conf. Close FTP's ports to the public internet in the firewall. Then run a free shareware FTP client on the windows PC or just use the windows internet browser to target the Freebsd ftp server. The shareware FTP client method lets me exchange both ways, (move a file from win to fbsd and fbsd to win) The windows internet browser method is one direction only, (from fbsd to win). I set the FTP server up as anonymous so all LAN PCs can download and upload to each other using the FTP server as a post and forward service.
