iSendr: Send files directly to another computer over the web

So you’ve got a file, and you want to get it to your friend quickly. Only one problem: he’s on the other side of the world. At this point, you could email the file (assuming the file isn’t too big for your email service to handle.)  Or you could set up an FTP server to share the document.

Or alternatively you could head over to iSendr, and in a few quick clicks give your friend a direct link for downloading the file directly from your computer. iSender is a web-based program that creates a link for you to send files directly to another computer without uploading it to a third party server.

Using the service is dead simple: you simply head over the website, click “share file” and point the website toward the file you wish to share. You’ll be given a link to share the file with, which you will share with your friend (you can optionally password protect the file if you’re worried about security). They paste the link into a web browser and presto: they have your file.

This is a really nice tool if you’re looking to do a quick file transfer without installing any software. Best of all, your transfer is completely secure: the iSender team cannot see what files you’re sharing, as the file is never actually on their servers. This tool is quick, easy and safe; there’s no reason not to give it a shot.

    does it work well for sharing music files?

  • Tech

    Doesn’t work – main page does not load.
    I have tried to access it many times.

    On the front page, I get an Adobe Flash document which says “please wait” and never does anything.
    The browser shows a status message “Read ftdownload.adobe.com

    …” and it stays like that.

    It’s completely unuseable.
