Cygwin has an NFS package so I guess you can mount filesystems from 
Linux systems or you can run Samba on the Linux system and just mount 
that the Windows way.

No I don't know of an SSL solution to mounting filesystems but you sure 
can ssh to your Linux systems, for example. You can also install 
Cygwin/X and run X apps from the Linux system to your Windows desktop.
