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

vouch for the first two...)<br>
