Install samba.  In /etc/samba/smb.conf find and modify or add in the
global section:

    map to guest = bad user
   guest account = nobody
   invalid users = root
   create mask = 0666
   directory mask = 0777

Then just use whatever tool you need to set up shared folders with
write access.  I normally create a /home/public folder for network
sharing and a non-shared /home/local for local r/w for all users.

This setup needs a firewall and secure wireless since samba will let
the whole world access the share.  Make sure the other user home
directories are not browseable from the network.
