I use this to transfer files sometimes in a pinch.
It uses the tool netcat which is nc on the command line.
To create a simple single file server:
nc -l -p 1234 < file
This example listens on port 1234 on knoppix, and when
you connect to that port in a browser from another machine, the contents of the file named 'file' are sent to the client.
Here is an example of when I used it to get an excel file.
I went to the directory where the file exists, and typed in:
nc -l -p 1234 < 10.xls
then i go to my browser on the other machine
http://<knoppix-box-ip>:1234
then i let it load (it looked garbled, but thats what the actual text of an excel file looks like if you were to cat it) and I think you have to hit stop after you see it's done.
I then go to file and save, and save it as 10.xls.
I can then open it in excel on the client computer.
I know there are about 1000 different ways I could have grabbed that file, and I can't promise that it will work in your situation, but this is tips & tricks and I think it's a cool trick.
Here are some more netcat tips and tricks.

--That is really cool! It only works once per invocation (if the file transfer gets stopped in the middle, netcat craps out; but you could put it in a loop I suppose) but it sure beats having to start up an FTP server for just one file.
--It kind of acts like a mini-http server, but you have to know what to save the file as on the client side.
--Nice hack!
