Oh, then just need to install a server listening in the port 80 and a couple 
of clients (like pidgin, psi...) Of vcourse, you also can make your own client 
(there are a lots of libraries to help you 
http://xmpp.org/software/libraries.shtml )

The usual file transfer method implies to use another connection established 
between the clients (or through a proxy if it can't be established)

But they can also be established through the main connection with the server 
(In Band Bytestreams, XEP-0047) I'm not sure about which clients support it (I 
think that at least pidgin does) Also, servers may be configured to throttle 
client connections, so the transfer can be slow.
