	I tried it briefly. You create folders named after the machines
to which you want to send stuff, and by dropping file into those
folders, An application running in background (Multifinder necessary)
will send it.  So transactions are always initiated by the sender.
When the application is running, a small status window (nice looking) 
display the activity and progress of the transfers.
