If you have an ssh server (if you have FreeBSD, you have one), that will 
function as a SFTP or SCP server. Put it on an alternative port if possible, 
and for the client end, use WinSCP, Fugu on a Mac (I think it's Fugu..), and 
for BSD/Linux/smartphones you have any number of client apps to choose from. 
Easy peasy, a familiar 2-pane GUI FTP layout, very secure.
