Kozman, SAFT is a nifty little protocol that lets you send a file to some other user on the internet without them having to explicitly accept it. Instead, the SAFT server will receive the file and place it in a queue for access later on. The protocol itself is quite new; an implementation is in the `sendfile' package. I strongly suggest checking it out.
This same thing, by the way, can also be done with email, with only one small problem: most email servers will refuse emails exceeding a certain (extremely conservative) size, making this protocol impractical for transferring large files.
