qShare

qShare is a FTP server with a built-in service discovery feature that makes qShare clients aware of other clients running on the same network. It also supports Zeroconf on Linux.

You can easily add/remove folders from the shared folders list, set access rights, toggle password protection, etc...

The most useful feature is probably the file search feature. The built-in FTP server implements a FIND command used by qShare to look for files on all known computers of the network with very little network/CPU overload.
