Mac-based ShareFile

ShareFile is a Mac sharing utility that throws a file to an iPhone or iPod touch. Right now it only supports single files and it’s still pretty crude. You can download a copy from the Erica Utilities folder. To use, launch and drag a file onto the text field. After the file has been received, the field clears and you’re ready to send a new file.

I do some basic checks that the file exists and is not a folder. If you have trouble using this, make sure your firewall is set up to allow the Bonjour service to work. And, if you are so inclined, you can use ShareFile and FileCatcher between Macs without any iPhones or iPod touches involved at all.
