It should be dead easy. I would put an FTP server on the recipient
machine, then write a CGI-script on the server, which would accept
input from an HTML form (which could just be a dummy, with the script
preconfigured, or it could be "enter FTP server, enter filename, enter
password" Of course, CGI scripts are hidden from the public, so
unless someone accidentally types blah/cgi-bin/sendfiles.cgi, they
would never trigger the script.
Using SendMail and some kind of encoder, it would be possible to do
the same thing, except have the files emailed to you.
Python would be my language of choice for this, but Perl is equally
powerful.
