There are a number of sites out there which allow WAN-based file
sharing.
At the risk of getting flamed...
I worked on one which is targetted at exactly this problem. The
"sender" uploads the file via WWW, selects who he wants to "send" it
to, they get an email notification and download the file via the URL
provided in the mail. It ain't rocket-science and folks have found it
easy to use. It's totally free, there's currently no advertising, and
only the sender has to get an account to upload. Currently user space
is 50MB and files expire after 7 days. See:
