File server for iOS app

Question

I am working on an iOS app and have been stumped for the last few days trying to figure out how to set up a server to receive and serve data to the app. I have no experience with servers, which is making it difficult. I need to simply be able to upload and download NSData or plists (XML files). I looked into Google App Engine but got stumped. Could anyone provide some direction? I would truly appreciate it. This is the last major obstacle to completing the app I am working on.

Thank you

I would recommend looking into Amazon S3 . It is a simple file server that uses HTTP. Can't get much simpler than that, and does not require you to build anything server side.
