iControl does have the System.ConfigSync.upload_file() method that will do what you want, but it's not very optimal for very large files. As Kevin said, Secure copy (scp) is probably your best bet. It's already setup on the BIG-IP and there are free clients for virtually every platform out there.
If you are on Windows (which I'm assuming since you are talking about samba shares), one popular free option is WinSCP : http://winscp.net/eng/index.php
