Forgot to send a mail about it: what about gnome-user-share? http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-user-share/
It lets the user have a small directory that he can share via http/webdav (using apache).

Hmm... That sounds like an interesting package. Does it also allow remote users to upload files to the directory as well? Or is it only one-way sharing?
You can configure it to receive files, but it's a bit less useful than giver since you have to be told that you were sent a file... However, it works quite well if you want to share a few files to lots of people. Eg, I was using it at my lab and I was sharing a doc about zeroconf under Linux so people could learn about how to share their music, share files, etc.
Such a tool could be VERY useful. I happen to be dealing with certain types of users right now who need to exchange large files with me and explaining to them where to send it other than email is very harrowing. :-) Providing a simple link to my machine would make life easier on me.
Well, the main use case is local networks with rendezvous. It seems what you're describing could be on non-local networks? gnome-user-share can probably work this way too, but you need to know the right URL, which was not shown in the UI last time I used it...
