No, we do not have a standalone server. I understand how that would be much easier for people to test out and use, but it really isn't a practical deployment mechanism, is it? Plus, the committers have been focused on other things.

The easiest way to upload and download files is to use the WebDAV service, which is a WAR file that can be deployed to an app server or servlet container. It does can be deployed as is, though you'd need to configure your app server a bit. (See our Reference Guide for details.) Once that's set up correctly, you can just mount that WebDAV service as a network share to your file system.

Alternatively, you could use the RESTful service, but we don't yet have a client application you can use out-of-the-box.

Hope this helps!
