Install, for example, apache on Windows. Voilà, instant server, just add

If all you need is to get data (i.e. files) from A to B, take a look at 
https://www.mesh.com/

While a tool to sync folders, it *can* get files from A to B.

If you need to fire a tool, then grab a tool that watches folders for 
(changed) content, and use that to trigger what you need, like a Ruby 
script parsing the data you sent over.
