I recently came across a program called Tango Dropbox.
'The Tango DropBox allows the user to upload files and folders without launching an FTP application. Simply drag and drop files on to the Tango DropBoxes you create on the desktop. With Tango DropBox you can drag 'n' drop to upload files and folders, resume broken or canceled transfers, browse for remote folders and import pre-configured account files. Set up is easy and transfers are fast and reliable because Tango DropBox is powered by the rock solid stability of the Tango FTP engine.'
Perhaps if someone had an FTP server to donate we could start some sort of model collective to more quickly fuel the spread of new models and textures.
