Network Attached Storage on Windows 7 Starter accessed by Arch

I have a mini netbook running Windows 7 Starter (when it comes to windows features availability, it sucks) and I have attached to it a USB hard drive.

What type of server should I install on it and access the files from Linux?

1) The network is insecure and I like to secure this file sharing
2) I should be able to write as well seamlessly from dolphin for example
3) Files should be available in all applications

I need a file server so to speak, but what protocol should I choose? FTP, Webdav, SMB? I ve never done it successfully in the past, I only achieved read only with an ftp server.
