I'd recommend SSH as a secure way of sending files.  This service may
already be installed on your server by default - it's a common service to
have running.  There are a variety of programs that support this protocol
in file-transfer mode - Putty (Free-as-in-Beer) has a pscp command-line
program to transfer files, while SSH Corporation's client (Not Free) has a
slick drag-and-drop very similar to Explorer.  If you have other POSIX
OS's in your environment (Linux, *BSD, Solaris, etc) then the OpenSSH
client is for them, and also comes generally pre-installed.

You can also use WinSCP for a free-as-in-beer explorer drag-and-drop
interface.
