For downloading...literally every web server. Just point it at the folder and turn directory listings on.
For uploading, too, probably something WebDAV flavored.

oh, I didn't realize that about webservers. I don't know much about them, never done web dev. So like a wordpress container would do the trick?
So if we really want to keep this simple:
Windows w/Python installed: py -m http.server
Linux/BSD/MacOS/Unix: python3 -m http.server
And if you're dealing with Windows, you can install python many ways so it's really not that difficult anymore.
Now mind you this covers downloading from a computer meaning another client computer let's say it's a laptop from your Windows/Linux desktop or server.
To upload files however, we have to get a little bit more creative. Let's say that you have Windows as your operating system or that you know how to use WINE on Linux.
This program is a Windows executable that as one simple download file gives you a full web server with upload and download meaning it will accept the post request correctly and let you transfer files. Give it a shot.
HFS (HTTP File Server) https://www.rejetto.com/hfs/?f=intro
Filebrowser is free/open source and does exactly that
OMV extension pretty much just runs this in a container lol
