Pc files to Ipad via Wireless?

[oxygene]

Ok first let me say I've never used anything apple, but the gf has an ipad. Ideally what I am looking for is if there is a way she can use the ipad to browse the wireless network / windows shared files then chose what files she wants and download then to the pad.
Is this possible? Ideally I dont want to go through the whole plug in and use itunes kind of thing as I head horror stories about losing everything if you dont know how to use it!
Any help appreciated!

Sweet will give it a try. We tried plex as it sees everything fine but the sync option needs premium
