Thanks for all the replies. FreeNAS looks like the ticket. BTW, sharity-light is marked as broken in the ports -- does not compile. I'm on 8.0-STABLE amd64.

Re: Very simple file sharing between FreeBSD server and windows client ?
Is there a simple software to share files between a FreeBSD server and a windows client other than Samba which is a bit overkill for my needings, I concur with the advice to use Samba, but if that's too scary, you can just use FTP. Recent versions of Windows let you define a network location that is an FTP server, and it works well enough to show the files in a pseudo-folder and drag them back and forth to local folders. On Windows, it's a poorly documented option under map network drive. Or real men run COMMAND.CMO and run FTP from the command line.
