If you can't properly set up the routers to prevent external access to
allow internal file sharing, then the best bet is to use internal
webservers (Apache would be a good choice) on the machines that will
be doing the sharing.
FTP daemons would also work and you should still be able to use your
friendly browser to do the work of downloading files if things are
set up right - not sure about uploading though, you may need to go
with webserver CGI if you go from a browser client.
