How about using windows/SMB file shares? Run samba on the linux server,
tunnel port tcp 139 over ssh, put

127.0.0.1	<linux-server-name>

into c:\windows\lmhosts (c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc for win NT). You can
now mount the shares provided by the linux server just like any other
network share; downsides are
1) SMB is fairly bad performance-wise on low-bandwidth connections.
2) the linux server won't show up in your browse-list - you must use
start->search->computer to view available shares or just use extras->connect
network drive in explorer and enter the full share name
(\\linuxserver\my_webhome_dir).
3) on Win95/98 you can't specify a seperate username for different network
connections.

For Unix clients you can either use SMBFS (linux) or the smbclient
program(s) for anything else.

Hope this helps,

Martin

PS: I'm actively using this myself, so it's not just a theoretical idea - it
definitely works.
