which HTTP file server, like HFS?

I am newbie. I am trying to find something to provide very simple HTTP file serving. The package I love the most is only available on windows, called HFS: http://www.rejetto.com/hfs/

But I wonder if anyone can recommend some other good stuff that is similar to HFS, but will run on the ReadyNAS, including other stuff I might ahve to go out and find or even compile myself. which is the best?

I saw a number of addons already available, but they all seem to be a bit complicated compared to what I'm looking for. I just want to be able to easily share files from time to time through HTTP, to other people who are low skill computer users.

    I know FileZilla is FTP, I use it quite a bit. I just didn't realize I was looking at the admin gui.
