along the line of this approach, look at the free WinSCP (SCP/sFTP) client:
http://winscp.net/eng/index.php it has a Norton Commander mode as well as a Windows Explorer mode. I have my healthcare client use this when moving PHI to/from me.

It's commercial but a perpetual 10 concurrent user license is $30. It does FTP/FTPS/SFTP/HTTP/HTTPS/WEBDAV. With WebDAV support you can mount the CrushFTP server in Windows, OS X and Linux as a network drive, plus the HTTP/HTTPS interface makes it dead simple to give novice users access. You can even upload files and the CrushFTP admin interface will allow you to generate one-time use throwaway download links that expire after a set period of time. The author of Crush also answers email support questions within a few hours and is a really nice guy.

There are some sites out there like Box.net, Drop.io, MediaFire, and Sharefile.. that offer this kind of service, but it would be nice to just to set up your own server. Is there a distro out there that provides this kind of service? I'm tired of training all our clients to use ftp and holding there hand while they figure out what client to use or web browser.. it just gets old and there has got to be a better way!
