you can use the ftp facility of IE...

ftp://username:password@ftp.examples.com

download them and upload them....microsoft gives u all the freedom.

if u need a more systematic and automated program, you need to hire a
programmer. the programmer will be help u maintain version control. that
means that All changes made by you and your staff will be both
maintained irrespective of who loads first. the software will also
provide u with some level of security

you can also try 'wiki' software. it is software whereby you can have
online documents that can be edited by all members of the organisation.
