If you have access to linux server, and the file generated on windows automatically, you can do the folowing:

1. Generate ssh-key on your windows maching

2. Add it to authorized_hosts of the linux machine

3. Install simple console scp tool on windows

4. Write simple cmd-script to copy file with help of scp, something like:

   scp c:\\path\\to\\file.txt user@linuxhost.local:/home/user/file.txt

5. Run this script automatically every time, then the file is generated on windows host.
