I just came across this, which may be useful to some people here. 

It's basically a way of allowing specific people (eg people you're 

working on a project with) to download a file directly from your 

computer, instead of having to upload your files to a service 

like .mac . There's probably more to it than that, but it looks useful.

Here are links to the MacWorld article, and the main site ...

Mac OS already has AppleShare, Windows File Sharing, and FTP built 

into the box. And I can hear B.G. saying "configure an ftpd, that's 

But sure, nothing like having another way to skin the cat. Thanks for

what the shell's for!".

Well, scp/rsync-over-SSH is more my thing (although I have been known 

to WebDAV), but when you need to quickly punt a few dozen megs of OSC 

recordings from a random PowerBook in Dortmund to another random 

PowerBook in Brussels, (pseudo-)peer-to-peer is a less-brainer.
