How do I set it up so that I can transfer files from my Windows XP machine through my router to my Linux machine?

I want to transfer certain data files such as music, pictures and documents. There are too many to even consider burning them to a CDROM and using the sneakernet. Email is too kludgy and will take about a thousand emails. I want to simply search for, locate and connect to the other computer. Then transfer whichever files I want/need over here.

Do I need some kind of fileserver like Filezilla? Is there an easier way?
