Access files and directories via HTTP

I've setup an FTP server in my Windows environment recently, but I discovered that in my corporate network FTP transmissions from/to outside the corp. LAN are forbidden.

"Not exactly HTTP, but have you tried DC++? It's great for situations like this.

The problem with HTTP downloads from the remote computer is that you can't transfer an entire directory easily. Unless you compress it, you'll have to go into each directory and download files 1 by 1. With that said, you could compress whichever directories you want to transfer, then place them in Apache's DocumentRoot and download them from home.

Depending on the amount of content, Dropbox may be of use."
