Can you run a FTP/HTTP server on those machines?

There is an smbclient package for BL3.

I got around this by writing a script to automatically
generate an index.htm with a clickable list of files

That's what the BL3 send/receive scripts use.  If you
have netcat on the other Lin/Win machines then you will
be able to use send/receive.
