I need a Server OS, for use as a cloud server, that can act as a shared folder on my network. Alternatively, a server were i access the server by url, but it has to be in a way were the filepath is in the url,
For example: http://www.random.com/files/pictures/sun.png/).
The reason for this is that i will need to write a custom application for my use.

Would an FTP server work?

About the only way that I see doing this from remote access would be either through an FTP server or web server. Usually for remote access I recommend remote desktop or VPN, but neither of those is going to give you access through a standard file path or URL listing.

If you want to try and set up an FTP server to test out, I would recommend trying FileZilla, which is a free application and service that can be installed on a standard desktop OS meaning cheap and easy to try out and see if it fits your needs. At least then you can determine if that method works before you would have to look into investing in a more robust OS and FTP service, if that is even necessary.
