If you have a windows computer, there's a tiny, easy to use http file
server called HFS.  www.rejetto.com

It's light weight.
You can configure it without a PHD in geek.
You turn it on/off with a click.
It serves only the files you drag/drop into the list.
You don't need any system permissions or passwords
to upload/download files.
You can run it wide open or with logins and passwords and
restrictions on a per-user basis.
You don't have to send your files into cloud storage.
You don't have to give anybody your network credentials.
You can access it from any device that has a web browser.
Did I mention that one click will turn it off for the 99.999%
of the time you don't need it?

I started using it when newer versions of windows REFUSED
to let me do network file transfers from an old Dell PDA.
With no way to upgrade the security policies on the PDA,
I needed a better solution.  HFS was it.

I quickly learned that it was WAY easier than trying to make
some linux distros talk to a windows network, enter passwords, etc.
I can work on my neighbor's computer without giving it full
network access to mine.

Got a browser and a network connection? You're good to go.
