Too many steps.
Once it's installed and configured, this one is drag and drop:

They also have a solution for dynamic addressing:
<http://www.hilgraeve.com/KB/KnowledgeBase/index_html?topic=DropChute&article=30002>
DropChute can work with and connect to dynamic IP addresses through the use of the address server. ldap.dropchute.com. With the address server available to you, you can wait for calls on the Internet using a dynamic IP address assigned by your Internet service provider. Your DropChute will post the address on the address server so others can connect to you.

Looks like IM with an accent on file transfer instead of chatting - if I'm not mistaken it requires both computers to be on at the same time? Please don't forget all those dialup users out there - they still outnumber the DSL's and cablemodems of the world. This needs to be store-n-forward in some way. -- Jeff Shultz Loose nut behind the wheel.
