I didn't find information on setting up an http file server. I imagine it would be some php script for sharing recursive directories and files specified through some sort of php interface. Is there anything like that as a module? Or external php script/program? Or perhaps there's already something built into XAMPP and I've just missed it all together.

thanks!

Nothing like that built in to XAMPP other than the very limited directory index system (what a browser sees when there is no index file in a directory and indexing is turned on in the httpd.conf file).

Here is a nice directory listing (portable) app. that generates web pages from folders if that is all that you require, as the visitor can download files from these generated pages:
http://dirhtml.home.comcast.net/~dirhtml/index.html

This popular freeware http file server may suit your needs:

HotScripts is another good place to look as they have different scripting language file manipulation scripts.
