A third party is not required. For the occasional transfer of files the

the friend.

There are some nice aspects to this script. Being able to use a browser
is one; having the download require a username and password and being
able to serve the contents of a directory are others. The OP could do
worse than install and use it. It looks like it would install on Squeeze
and Wheezy.
Thanks for drawing servefile to our attention.
