Well .. sort of, but it comes with IIS (or Apache, etc).

Just enable WebDAV and use NTFS permissions (or Unix ACLs) to secure the 
individual directories, don't allow anonymous access, and force SSL.

You can connect to a WebDAV share natively in most any O/S .. from 
there, it looks just like a physical drive .. you can copy/paste. Some 
applications (eg: MSoffice) also support it directly.
