Product Description:

Anyone who has ever tried to send a file larger than a few megabytes as an email attachment knows the pain. It would either flood your recipient's mailbox or bounce right back to you.

FileChute to the rescue. Sending files is now as easy as dropping the files in the chute and pasting the link (URL) in your email.

FileChute features:

send large files with no worry of email bouncing
send multiple files in one step
send entire folder in one step
encryption for security (dmg only)
Extremely easy setup for .Mac users
Supports other WebDAV or FTP-accessible webserver

What's new in this version:

FileChute stores passwords in the default login Keychain. Occasionally, another app could change the permission or ownership of the keychain. When that happens, FileChute is unable to save passwords. This version adds a proper error message and provides instructions for fixing the problem.

Excellent, Easy-To-Use Application! - Version: 3.1.2, 10/10/2008 06:56AM PST

I have not had to contact the developer so I cannot speak of the support, but FileChute has been a saviour, of sorts. Twice, I tried to send e-mails that would appear to be small enough to get under the radar. Not so! Without any hassle at all, I brought up FileChute and it entered MobileMe information iteself. I didn't have to do a thing! Then, all I had to do was drag the files I wanted to send on top of the FileChute icon. It did the rest. It even asked if I wanted those files wrapped in an archive! When it finished its encoding, all I had to do was drag the link it made to the e-mail window. It seems nothing in life is this easy any more! I have had not one problem from this great lttle app and since Apple's last upgrades, everything has had a quirk or two! That is saying a lot for this little piece of programming. I sprung for it so I don't have to worry in the future. I just hope the developer stays around!

There was a localization problem with French systems in version 3.0.7. The developer promptly solved if by issuing 3.0.8. Excellent product and superior support. I guess most users except me did not even have the time to notice the problem!
