I'd use an FTP server secured with SSL and a strong username and 
password. Loads of FTP clients (FileZilla, the standard ftp command-line 
uils in Windows and UNIX, etc.) exist, and FTP (provided it is secure) 
allows you to read and write files. It's used for all sorts of things, 
and is possibly the oldest file sharing method out there.
