If you just want manual upload/download rather than an application to 
sync copies of the data, why not just set up a WebDAV server? It shows 
up as an HTTP/HTTPS URL, which can be entered into Windows explorer (the 
file manager, not Internet Explorer the web browser), and I believe also 
various file managers on Linux and I assume MacOS. All you need is an 
Apache web server (or probably others too) to serve it up, plus HTTP 
basic authentication.

(I didn't actually read any of those URLs, but I would automatically 
vouch for the first two...)
