Have you ever wanted to send large files to a friend and weren’t able to ? Email obviously doesn’t work for large files since most email providers will have limits on the size of files that you can attach. There are services like rapidshare which one can use but even they have their limits, besides they’re not completely secure ?
Enter FilePhile. FilePhile makes it easy and simple to transfer large files to your friends securely over the Internet. That is the only thing it does and it does it extremely well. Not only that it also recovers from crashes, rebootes etc. and even if a transfer fails because your laptop’s battery ran out. The next time you start FirePhile, it starts right from where you left it at.
To use FilePhile, register for free at http://www.filephile.net/index.php and download the Java based client and install it. The client is available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Start the client, login by giving it the email address you registered it with and add your friends to it.
Sending a file a to a buddy is as simple as clicking on File->Send and selecting the buddy’s name and the file that you want to transfer. The transfer will be done directly between your and your friend’s machine and will be encrypted all the way through.
