Webdav would work great in this case. Windows users can access it via
the "web folders" support in XP and on and Linux users can access it via
any number of webdav tools (including the built-in webdav IO slave in
KDE... try 'webdavs://host/' in Konqueror).
There are actually quite a few decent HOWTOs on setting up WebDAV with
SSL. Here's one that is RH9 centered but with lessons that carry over
for all distros:

I have this setup locally for my shared calendars (iCal, KOrganizer,
Sunbird, and Thunderbird w/ Lightning). It works great.
