Hi there, I would use SSH to provide SFTP services. You can use
SSH1 which is free, but you would be better to get the (F-Secure)
commercial version 2 (SSH2). The SFTP Client provides a nice GUI
with panes showing remote and local directory structure. You can
then using the F-Secure SSH2 server and optionally :

Limit which users can access
Limit access to only a directory and its sub-directories (eg. C:\SSH\SFTP-Files)
Use Public/Private keys to provide high-grade authentication.

You can then also set up automated SCP (secure copy) transfers if you wish from
your clients. You then also have available to you a means of tunnelling all
tcp connections (for example POP or VNC) to the Windows SSH server using
SSH encryption/authentication.

Cheers, Tony.
