Ran across a reference to this a week or two ago in one of the
newsgroups I hang in (heck, coulda been here; don't recall). 'Twas just
a brief mention, and there was no further comment regarding this site or
service.
Did a couple experiments with it myself; sent a couple files to my wife
across the room, with no apparent ill effect. But yesterday, I was able
to put it to a very practical use...
In the course of my work, I need to have our graphics people send files
to various small vendors I have contracted to imprint or embroider or
otherwise "enhance" our products. Many of these outfits are small, mom
and pop type outfits, and a few -- believe it or not -- use AOL. And
occasionally, AOL's email servers will "eat" the attachment. Try as we
might, we can't get the file through intact.
This service worked a treat in allowing us to bypass the AOL email
servers. I don't know the specifics of how it works, but it appears to
act like a file that is held temporarily on an ftp server. The technical
aspects aside, I found it to be a very simple solution to a problem I've
had to deal with on more than one occasion, and suspect it will be handy
in other situations as well.
Just passing this along. It's my "Favorite Find" for the week.
