As I’ve written here before, I have a passion for filesharing, either within a LAN or over the Internet to whomever I choose. Well, here’s ge.tt which is a great free, very simple app that allows you to do both.

Lifehacker has written an article on ge.tt which is worth a look.

To use ge.tt, just click on the ge.tt site, click Select Files and choose whatever you want to share. Then send the generated url to where you want to share your files, be it on the other side of the world or on another computer on your own network. I really couldn’t be easier.

It’s well worthwhile creating a free account as your files stay sharable for three months and your shares are organized and easily inspected.

I think finally I’ve come across a facility that rivals the Python SimpleHTTPServer for sharing files across a LAN. Of course, ge.tt does a lot more as you can also share files across the Internet.
