Why
I wanted a simple and fast way to exchange small files, like Word-Documents, Pictures, URLs, etc. iChat and similar tools need much configuration and registering - I wanted a solution that would "just work". I used to use Mac OS X' FileSharing and the DropBox, but I don't get notified, and I have to mount the other user's Home DropBox by hand. Additionally the number of logged in users on Mac OS X Client is limited. Back then[1], no tool existed for this purpose, so I made my own (as usual) :-)).
Key Features
- Bonjour-enabled[2]
- No configuration necessary
- Automatically fetches username and user image from your Macintosh Preferences / Address Book
- Lets you transfer files to Macs in your local network
- Lets you browse and get files from Macs in your local[3] network
- largefile support[4]
