I too agree that I cannot see the use for this type of software, especially considering how easy it is to transfer files with a number of mechanisms (ie. sftp, webdav, smb/cifs, scp, etc).


However, I have let some of my skepticism on stuff like this go during recent years while spending hours on the phone with my parents trying to get them up and running to do things that I would consider "simple". I can see where there could be a market for a tool such as this even if it did nothing but create an easy setup environment for non-power users (and save me a couple of hours of "tech support").
