I'm not sure what the interest is with Civil Netizen/Pando.

There are over fifty file transfer web sites on the net, see an incomplete list
at:

<http://www.jdempsey.com/2005/12/08/free-online-file-storagesending/>

(a list I saw elsewhere listed 83 such services).

True, they are not encrypted, but the easiest way to solve that is to
just use Disk Utility to create a disk image from a folder and enable
encryption.

Also, if you create an Amazon S3 account (which is free to do), you
can use it to store your files securely on a trusted host for a cost
of around half a cent for a 10 MB file that is uploaded, stored for a
month and then downloaded once and.

Also, for Interarchy users, I've just posted a blog article
describing an AppleScript droplet I wrote to let you automate the
Amazon S3 process, so you simply drop a file on the droplet and it
will use Interarchy to upload the file to a predetermined Amazon S3
bucket within a randomly named directory and then display the URL you
can email.
