I need to be able to PUT files and GET them later using nothing but HTTP, so I went searching for something that might match the terms "REST file server" or "HTTP file server" or "REST drop-box", etc. Unfortunately, these terms bring up the wrong kind of results on Google.

What I want is the equivalent of an SMB fileshare over HTTP. Some ideal features:

Our shop runs Windows, but I'd be interested to know about Unix software that can do this kind of thing, too.

It's to be used in an IT department for private users only. It won't be on a public-facing IP address.

Does anything like this exist?
