Alfresco provides several APIs to access your content. In your case you need a remote API that can access Alfresco from the Windows machine. The Alfresco Java Foundation API is a Java API that can only be used on the Alfresco Repository Machine (same Java VM).

You could either use the REST API or the CMIS standard (which I would suggest).

If you are developing the Client in Java you can use the OpenCMIS client library for example to access Alfresco. There are probably also CMIS clients libraries for other languages.

You should evaluate if CMIS has all the capabilities you need, because since it is a common standard it does not support the complete feature set of Alfresco.

Alfresco provides developer tools for interacting with an Alfresco repository. You can consult the developer documentation for more information on this.

For use in Java, Alfresco provides the Alfresco Java Foundation API that should be able to help you.
