	Embrace, extend, and exterminate not withstanding, this is an open standard called WebDAV. Linux (and I assume Macs) support this type of sharing as well so it's not specific to MS.

	WebDAV shares a folder over HTML. If you have a WebDAV client (installed by default in Ubuntu and probably others) then you can share a folder and mount it like an NFS share on the client. Apache needs to be configured on the server side and there is user authentication, though I supposed you might be able to setup anonymous access.
