It makes so much sense. I'm always ftp'ing files up to share screenshots, recordmydesktop files, etc. I tend to upload to a couple of hosts based on if this is for work or public so I started a python project to handle some more use cases. https://launchpad.net/sendoff It's a lot more overhead, but now that I've got it I'm already mad I didn't do this a long time ago.

Though I typically only care to share things I create and name, which I am known to do in a sane and consistent manner :-) @Killerkiwi: nice! That sounds useful. @Barry: good point and good fix!

The xselection trick was new to me however, thanks for the hint! I used the notify-send utility to pop up a link once the file or directory was copied.
