What are your security concerns? If you have none,
try in global:
guest account = ftp (assuming this user exists on your linux server)
and in your share put:
guest ok = yes
If you really really have NO security concerns, guest account = root
would be fine too.
About the user name. I believe windows always uses the name you logged in
with.
