This is an amazing tool. Just found it based on someone's recommendation (maybe I saw it here on ProFoxTech) and I love it. It has solved a big problem for me in terms of logging in to remote systems (especially with RDP) to pull test files or export files and then transferring them to my machine. Before I had to either use webmail for small files, or install FTP software for larger files. But with Send-Anywhere.com, I can have the files in just a few minutes and never have to install software on someone else's machine. When I can use GotoAssist it's not a problem because there is a built in file transfer, but in those cases when I cannot use GotoAssist, this tool is a great alternative. I've been telling clients about it and they seem to like it as well. Works well with iPhones too.
Unfortunately, I think OP was looking for something that wouldn't require any input from his side to confirm the uploads or start them. Not sure you can automate the process with Send-Anywhere.

Paul, I posted this a few weeks ago but take a look at SendAnywhere. It may well fulfil your requirements.
Send a file which gives you a key for the receiver to apply and the file then gets automatically sent. Max Size 4Gb and totally free.

Hi All,
After our FTP server was hacked I'm looking for a secure way for clients to send us large backups. They can be 100Mb-2Gb in size but they will be downloaded and deleted fairly quickly. No permanent storage is needed, on our old server files were deleted at midnight.
Ideally we would give each of our dealers a single login/pass and they will upload using a web browser on the clients site. We are only talking about a dozen logins.
Would something like DropBox work? I've never used it, but £10/user/month seems a bit high.
Looking for something more secure than a FTP server!
