Übertragen is a widget designed to transfer files, be it to an FTP-server, to another Mac running Ubertragen on your local network (through Bonjour) or to one of your Bluetooth-devices.
It was designed with quick uploads in mind and thanks to the dashboard it is always available immediately. Just grab your files, call Dashboard, hover over the widget and it presents all your FTP accounts, nearby Macs and your Bluetooth-devices in an exposŽ-like manner. Too easy.
AKROBAT I like the idea, however the Bonjour feature simply doesn't work.
The problem is that the only machine that shows up in Ubertragen is the same one I'm sending from, which doesn't make sense 'cause other apps can work fine over Bonjour.
KEDOS AWESOME and lightweight utility! Very useful - it has almost completely replaced my ftp client. The bluetooth with my k800i doesn't work either, but I don't need it.
I don't know what the deal is with the name, though. I tell my friends that they need to go download "Ubagrabatabagibbin." What does it mean? (Version 1.5.1)
"übertragen" is the german verb for "to transmit". =D (Version 1.5.1)

MSTAC I must say that this widget is exactly what I was looking for. But for me it does not work... I'm only talking about the bluetooth mode. I'm using a macbook, and a SonyEricsson k800i. I can send files without problem using the "Bluetooth File Exchange" (from Apple), but Ubertragen gives me an error "A Bluetooth error has occured, is the device in range?". As there is not much configuring, I don't know what to do to solve this...
TROYKOELLING This is the first non-Apple widget that I've seen that "gets it". It does one thing well (aside from some initial bugs), and it doesn't require any setup to get started. So please don't add more complex file structures :) I like how it is. (Version 1.0.1)
