    You could install a SSH server and use SCP to copy data through a SSH connection. That's quite secure.

    Replace user and try again.

        TO be honest, I think FTP would be... straight forward enough.. I am not transmitting bank details here.

          if you're fearing packet sniffers, you could use glftpd + tls which allows you to transfer ftp stuff over SSL. Glftpd only works in *nix though.

                  Then you need to get the newest version of RaidenFTPD. It's based off of glftpd, but it for Winblows:

                  FTP server software for Windows 7: RaidenFTPD is a widely used FTP server software. It works with Windows/Mac/Linux FTP clients and IE, and free trial download is also available.


                  It supports SSL, 64-bit encryption and all sorts of fun features. It's what I use.
