I came across this company called SpeedLink from Singapore. They seem to have a very interesting file transfer paradigm. www.speedlinkworks.com Basically, they use their own encryption algorithm. The file is uploaded to a secure server so the authenticated recipient can obtain the file.
Web-based drop-off location or something? (I can't reach the link) Cornell's got a homegrown app called dropbox that does what Rice's homegrown app, webfile did, that does what many campuses have built. Easier and safer to build your own with an SSL Web server than contract someone else to store your content. If I'm going to use some 3rd party HTTPS drop-off location, I'm going to encrypt the content first. And if I'm going to bother to encrypt the content first, I may as well just use any number of protocols to move it around. Wy
