FilePhile was created with a very specific goal: to solve the person-to-person file transfer problem.

What is the person-to-person file transfer problem? Well, have you ever wanted to send something large to a friend or colleague? First you try e-mail, but it’s too big.

Then you try a web-based service, but those cost too much, have size limits, use crummy browser-based HTTP file upload, or… well… maybe what you’re sending is something confidential and you don’t want to upload it to someone else’s server.

So then, if you or the other party is tech-savvy, you mess around with trying to forward ports, set up FTP servers, and so on. Finally you either cobble something together or give up and mail the person a disk.

That’s the person-to-person file transfer problem.

Check out FilePhile and let me know what you think about it.
