And how could I send a file on HTTPS protocol?

There is no difference in HTTP (or HTTPS) between files and documents.

I would like to connect two clients behind firewalls through a server
on WAN and initiate the file transfer between them... Do you think
that's possible?

Do you mean you have 3 computers involved: one server and two clients
and want to transfer a file between the two clients ?

You cannot communicate between clients. You must pass thru the server,
first upload the file from one client to the server and then download
the file from the server to the second client.

Or transform one client into a server (That is simply use ICS HTTPS
server component). But then you'll have issues with the firewall which
must forward the incomming connection to the client computer running the
server program.
But could it be possible to have an application that is server and client in the same time and for both operations use only one common port like port 80 ? Something like Skype does ? And instead of using HTTPS (SSL) use HTTP but with a custom encryption if needed. That's an idea, OK? Did not implemented something like that (yet) but I think it would be interested.
