Ad Hoc File Transfer
It's 4:30 on a Friday afternoon and you need to send one of your key customers a document before the end of the day. The problem is that the document is several MB in size and sending the document by email attachment is not an option as this would likely be rejected by your customers SMTP server. You could create a temporary FTP account for this customer, but this process takes time working with your IT staff, not to mention the time it may take to make any necessary firewall changes to your and/or your customers network and explain to your customer how to connect and download the file. What do you do?
