I've been asked to setup a server for exchanging non-critical company data e.g. marketing PDF's etc.

Can anyone recommend a Linux-based solution I can use? We're looking for something with a really simple GUI front end here... I've already setup SFTP but they found the process 'too-techy'.

Any ideas would be really welcome...

Thanks!
