I sometimes (not very often) need to send files to some friends. The files are to big for their mailboxes. Files between 2 to 10 mb, so they are not that big.
So I thought I could easy set up a ftp server to use, now I have tried for some hours without succeeding. I have search the net and there are a lot of how to:s, but either they are not complete, very old or I don't understand them.
Any ideas?
I need the following features.
My friends shall be able to reach the files with a web browser (some are not able to use or install a ftp klient)
Shall be easy to start and stop, the feature shall only be open for the short time it takes for my friends to get the files. |

you could register at dyndns for free, setup an apache and your friends can browse the files you want to share. You can also give them a password and such.
EDIT:
Xadras' tool KLAMP seems to be a very neat assistant for that, but I only receive 404s there (?) |

| we here (Romania) often use skype to transfer bigger files, it works FAST for all in the same provider-network. 15MB in 59 seconds. quite convenient. disadvantage: one trnasfer at the time, both partners need to be involved. |

ssh and scp/sftp.
benefit:
- secure (encrypted) connection
- ssh daemon is easy to set up
drawback:
- it could be necessary to use a chroot environment or a vm to protect your system from your friend 
- transfer resume is not possible (as far as I know) |

| gmx allows its users to share folders in their so-called Media Center. It generates temporary links, valid for 7 or 14 days (at your decision). A standard gmx account acommodates 1GB in total, I don't know of any limit to the individual files' size, though |
