You could use Personal File Sharing to accomplish the same thing, of course, but DropCopy feels far more lightweight: you don’t need to turn File Sharing on, you don’t need a username and password, you don’t need to log on or open any remote Finder windows, you don’t need to worry about permissions.

Continue dragging onto an item of that menu, and the file or folder is copied to that computer. Drag a file or folder onto this hole, and a menu appears next to it, listing the names of any other computers on your local network that are also running DropCopy. This little utility’s "window" is a small translucent dark spot, rather like a hole, that sits behind all other applications (and behind your desktop Finder icons). I’ve recently discovered DropCopy, from 10base-t Interactive.
