Basicly it would be an shortcut for exactly that. As far as I know
file sharing from people behind routers also doesn�t work within the
native clients so that wouldtn�t really be a hindrance.
So right now, I have to copy the file to a place where I can share
it, enable personal web sharing, then give him the ip plus the path
(or I have to configure that at some point) and then have him
downloading it. But I don't have any means of a progress meter that
way (besides of my throughput meter, but that isn't really reliable.
So an UI would greatly cut the time it needs to do this down plus it
wont be too difficult to write (if there is something like an open
source http/ftp server somewhere out there...)
Ok, but thats only a thought and I dont know how much time it would
take to implement something like that. But it sounded neat on the
first thought. :)
Have a nice day,
cu Martin
