Question: I have a directory on my server at

/home/dave/www/images/site (ext3)

which I want to mount directly to my Windows computer so that I can transfer data easily via command line tool. Is that something possible?

Answer: 
If the server is local, you may want to look into creating Samba shares, which will behave exactly like a standard Windows share if configured correctly.

FTP and SCP also come to mind. If this server will be reached across the internet, I would highly recommend SCP.

[WinSCP](http://winscp.net/eng/docs/commandline) has a great command-line utility, as well as a corresponding graphical version.
Another approach would be scp/sftp. If you have an SSH server running on the Linux machine you can use scp/sftp tools to transfer files (such as putty - <http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html>):
