Steve-

I'd use sshd for this.  It has an sftp server built right in.  And
clients are readily available for just about any platform.  Even better
thouhgh is scponly: http://www.sublimation.org/scponly/ which adds to
the security of ssh by not requiring that users have real
shells/accounts on your machine.  It works pretty well with any ftp
client that can do scp (gFtp, ssh's (comercial) windows client (the ftp
part), others I can't think of right now).
