I’m personally fond of http://www.filesdirect.com – easy, “1-click” interface. No firewall issues, no software to setup or configure, and safer than most people’s home systems (128-bit SSL encryption on all file transfers).

A much simpler way to send large files is Binfer. With simple drag and drop you can send 1000′s of files directly to your contacts computer. Works on Windows, Linux and Mac and across firewalls. No special setup needed. Try it: http://www.binfer.com

i immediately see the usefulness. it's a quick, TINY personal file transfer utility. it'd be a lot quicker to launch this off a flash drive than install a full-blown webserver or setup NFS. sometimes people just need small, specific use applications (or scripts) where the alternatives are overkill.

i also used drop.io for a while, but then i decided to switch to 4shared, as i find it more secure and convenient in storing files. they give 15gb for free and and dozens of features in the account.

Exactly, this is about having files saved to YOUR machine!

Really? If someone can run a webserver, install python scripts, and execute via the command line, I think they can figure out how to port forward on a router or use NAT on a specific IP.

Why they wouldn't use drop.io is because the files are hosted. That means some third-party has your files and access to those files. There's a break in security and privacy I'm not willing to live with. If I run Droopy on my local machine I don't have to worry that someone other than me is going to be looking at my clients private data.
