- We apologize for the inconvenience, but the Short URL option has been removed for the time being. The programming interface to the service has been changing without warning, making it impossible for FileChute to utilize it reliably. We're working on an alternative.
- The Account drop-down menu now stretches with window resizing.

FileChute makes sending files easy. Just drag a file and drop it on FileChute. FileChute puts the file on your MobileMe account and generates a web link for retrieving the file all in one step. Next drag the generated link into your email and you're set to go. And since what you're sending is just a link, your recipients can retrieve the file from a Mac, a PC or any other platform. You can even drop multiple files or folders at once. FileChute automatically creates an archive in the format of your choice - it supports dmg, zip and tar - and sends the archive file.
FileChute works best with a MobileMe account, configuration is super easy. But since not everyone has a MobileMe account, FileChute also works great with other FTP or WebDAV-accessible web server. Perform the one-time set up by following the built-in Help. Once it is properly set up, FileChute works just as perfectly with non-MobileMe servers.

For some reason Filechute didn't like the changed password so (tongue-in-cheek) I logged a call with the author to see if he could offer any clues. Bear in mind the program only costs just $15, I kind of thought I was pushing my luck but..
Within a few hours Jay (the author) came back to me, asked for a bit more info and.. afew hours later... hey presto updated Filechute to accommodate my very draconian password scheme!!
I'm an IT Manager and hey, I've bought software for the office costing anything for 10 -100 times what Filechute costs yet the support those companies gave me didn't even touch the sides compared to Filechute.
As Amber McArthur and Don McAllister have pointed out in the past, Jay is one of the good guys for sure, he clearly doesn't do it for the money, he does it c'os he believe he wants to contribute to the Mac community, and I for one am very grateful, THANK YOU Jay!

FYI: version 2.8.2 does not decompress correctly (neither the download through MacUpdate nor the update from the app itself. Probably some corrupted file. Maybe the developer could inform us on MacUpdate once this is fixed.
