I need to be able to PUT files and GET them later using nothing but HTTP, so I went searching for something that might match the terms "REST file server" or "HTTP file server" or "REST drop-box", etc. Unfortunately, these terms bring up the wrong kind of results on Google.
What I want is the equivalent of an SMB fileshare over HTTP. Some ideal features:
- Can PUT a file of any type at http://servername/service/any/path/I/want/document.pdf
 - Anyone with access can GET that file at the URL I PUT it at
 - Supports AV scanning on any new file that has been PUT
 - Supports DELETE of existing resources (files)
 
Our shop runs Windows, but I'd be interested to know about Unix software that can do this kind of thing, too.
It's to be used in an IT department for private users only. It won't be on a public-facing IP address.
Does anything like this exist?
