Yes, Greg, you choose what you want
them to see (or get). You can set up different folders (with
secret codes) for different clients.
Cheers, Jon

Thanks Jon,
So there is no interface of sorts for the client to
select what they download or not. Basically I choose what
downloads to their local folder.

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.
