YouSendIt - Alternative to FTP

If you frequently need to send large files to others, check out YouSendIt sometime. It's kinda like FTP, but not really. 


Through their service, you upload a file and enter your recipient email address. The recipient gets a notice with a handy link for downloading the file. They click and download, everybody's happy - and nobody's email bombs-out because of attachment size problems.  And nobody needs to know what "FTP software" is or how to use it.

The free version lets you move up to 100 megs at a time. As you go up in price, you can send larger and larger files. Oh, and you can also assign expiration dates for files, and brand a page on YouSendIt with your own company information. 

It's a pretty slick system, and gets around all the confusion and complication often present with FTP solutions.
