Instead of using usb and copy my files, rebooting, go to windows and paste it, I want an application that can send files to windows from ubuntu WITHOUT INTERNET AND REBOOTING.
I'm using lubuntu 12.04 and windows xp.
Please give me solutions of applications like how i described it.
Any answer is appreciated.
Just mount your windows drive in your Linux system.
Find out which drive (partition) you are interested in. You can do this by running sudo lsblk -f which will list all available partitions and greping for ntfs. For example, on my system, I get
sudo lsblk -o NAME,FSTYPE,SIZE | grep ntfs
├─sda2 ntfs 14.7G
├─sda3 ntfs 78.1G
From the output above I know that it's either sda2 or sda3. In this case, I know that the drive I am after is the 78G one so I needsda3. In all of the instructions below, make sure to replacesda3` with whatever you get for this step.
Create a mount point for the partition
sudo mkdir /media/windows
Mount the drive
sudo mount /dev/sda2 /media/windows
You should now be able to copy things to/from your drive just like any other location on your system.
Make it happen automatically.
Edit /etc/fstab and add this line (as always, change sda3 to whatever you found in step 1):
/dev/sda3 /media/windows ntfs rw,errors=remount-ro 0 0
That's it, the drive will now be mounted automatically at /media/windows and you can use it just like any other directory.
vfat rather than ntfs partition. The idea is the same, you just need to mount the partition to your Linux system and you can then copy freely. You should also be able to do this through the file manager, isn't there an icon on the left hand pane showing your windows partition?
You can read ntfs partitions directly from Ubuntu, using ntfs-3g.
Create the folder where you want to mount the windows partition:
mkdir ~/my_win
then type in the command to mount the partition:
sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 ~/my_win
where /dev/sda1 is your partition window
Type man ntfs-3g for more help.
You can mount your windows partition directly in Ubuntu.
Either by your file explorer or by using the mount command.

To mount your Windows partition (or any other attached partition for that matter!) is super easy with the file explorer (which you can access by hitting the Super key + typing files + hitting enter after files are displayed). The file manager will start.
As the linked help page notes: "Simply look in the left pane of the file manager for the partition you wish to mount and click on it - it will be mounted and its contents will show up in the main pane". It's really that easy. After this you have the Windows partition working just like any other.
Creating a partition as @terdon said is the best way. Most effient and fast.
If you want a cloud solution, personally i really like Drop Box
Linux Reader is a free application to read ext filesystems from Windows. There's also another free application, called Paragon Extfs, which is able to read and write files on ext partitions, but it's known to break some Linux installations.
