Uploading Files

July 14 2008, 3:44pm

I just added a fun new feature to Ringlight. You can now upload files from any web browser to any computer where you are running the Ringlight client.I often find myself in need of such a feature. I'll be on some computer at the lab or a friend's house and I'll think, "I really need a copy of this file. I guess I can e-mail it to myself..." Then, of course, you have to go check your e-mail and download the file at home. What a pain!Now I can just upload it directly to my home computer, into any folder which I have shared. Then, the file will automatically be shared as well! This is pretty neat, because it means that you don't even have to be at your computer to publish new files. You can publish them from anywhere!
