File Drop

File Drop is a convenient place to stick files for a few minutes, say to send a file to a friend over IM from behind a firewall, or just stash it away for a very short time. Files uploaded will be deleted in a half hour or so (maybe more, maybe less, I make no promises) but in the meantime you'll get a url you can use to retrieve them. You cannot upload ones bigger than a few megs though or Ning rejects it, so no ISO hosting.

After uploading you'll get a link to retrieve you file. Have fun!


Upload a file using this nifty web form

File

Or use one of these possibly useful tools:

filedrop.sh
A shell script to upload files to filedrop using filedrop.sh ./path/to/myfile.zip

You are very welcome to write your own client, look at the shell script to see how the API works.
