I'm not sure what you mean by "directly." Data can be transferred between the two through many protocols. Most networking protocols are platform-agnostic, meaning they can be sent and received on any network-capable operating system. If Linux has a Samba client installed, it can access files made available on a Windows share. If Windows has an NFS client installed, it can access Linux / Unix NFS shares.
