Free File Server?

Does anybody know of a simple open-source/free program that accepts incoming TCP connections and then allows a client to send over a file. The server will then have to save the file in a folder where it is installed. I could code this program in ~3-4 hours but my boss won't be happy with that. So if anybody knows of such application, please do let me know. Thanks.

It would take you 3 hours to write a simple file transfer application?

I'm not aware of any projects, There is TFTP but that works over UDP not TCP. (And isn't very nice with large files..).

Why exactly would your "boss" be against a small program written by you, versus one written by someone else?

can the server setup a samba/nfs/win share?
or another great idea is posted above (ftp).

If either of the computers are running OpenSSH or a supporting SSH daemon then SCP would work.
