Greg,
Yes, there is a small program that needs to be installed on the
clients computer and your computer. Then you set up a folder on
your computer and within the software, you will create a "Secret
Code" that you send to the client. They use the secret code to set
up the folder on their computer. And that is it. Whenever you put
something in your folder, the clients computer will start
downloading right then and there. Both computers need to be on;
the file is not hosted anywhere on the web except on your computer
and the clients. It sounds harder than it is. I think it is
simpler to use than Dropbox.
Hope that help!
Cheers, Jon

Jon, does the client need a special program or
certain login to grab the files? Or can you just send them one
link to the folder and they see all the files there?
Dennis, just to be clear, with Dropbox, you can right
click a file and choose share drop box link to generate a link
on the fly that you can show a client. You can also do this with
a folder and the client will show all files in that folder. That
link stays active as long as that filename or folder name is
there, so you can render over it and tell a client to check the
same link for the update.
Also, you can hover over the dropbox icon in the
system tray, or I believe now you click it and then click the
cog icon and you can see your transfer speed and estimate of
when all files will be finished uploading. Also each icon has a
blue arrow circle when it's uploading and a green check mark
when it's completed.

I am currently sharing an iso DVD file with
someone using btsync. It is private torrent and so far the
only draw back is my upload speed. Once I place a file in
the appropriate folder, the other person can start
downloading it immediately.

I've been using
YouSendIt, now called Hightail, for a few years and have
been very happy. It's quick, clients get the email link
and don't have to navigate the ftp stuff etc.
Dropbox has been mostly good for me, but it does
get confusing with having to invite people to share
the files, and I don't like the lack of feedback as to
how long a particular transfer is taking.
For instance I can drag a 200Mb file into the
folder on my desktop, and it shows up right away. But
I know it takes longer than that to transfer so I
gotta guess.
