Googling this, I got the below, but I want something more universal and without the need for registration. Any ideas?

Sharing Files and Folders

How do I share my files with other users? Can I share my files with unregistered users?

Your files can be shared only with verified 4shared users. They will be able to download your files, as soon as they log in their accounts. After you upload your files on 4shared you’ll be able to share your files with others by using an access link. You can email the link, place it on your web page, or publish it on blogs.

Also, if you don’t want your file to be seen by everyone, you can share your link confidentially, with only the people you choose. Since the link is generated securely, it is impossible to access the file.

if you want to share also the code, not only the executable, you can upload the proyecto to codeplex or sourceforge. For example, this is a proyect i uploaded a couple of months ago to codeplex http://ffmpegconverter.codeplex.com/ I added the project to the codeplex Team Foundation Server so anyone can contribute or download the code. The VS2010 TFS integration is what made me upload it to codeplex.

sourceforge has more source control options like Git and others.

201x way: upload source code under open source license plus binary
to CodePlex, Google Code or SourceForge.

199x way: upload binary to Tucows or similar.

Thank you. I have a question(s) if you care to answer. I checked out your offering, and wonder whether you need to have VS2010 TeamFoundation Server in order to upload your source code? I use VS2010 Professional, and I don't know much about Version Control (I simply copy folders onto my hard drive for version control). Do I need some third party tools if I don't have Team Foundation Server version? Was uploading a problem or did it go smoothly at SourceForge? Was it as simple as FTP or Publish your code from inside of Visual Studio?

If you want to use Team Foundation as your source control you must have Visual Studio 2010 Professional, Premium, or Ultimate, check this link for more info http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jasonba/archive/2010/02/11/team-explorer-is-included-in-visual-studio-2010.aspx

That being said, to upload to an external (not yours) server, you dont have to setup a team fopundations server, just configure your Visual Studio.

If you want to use other source control solution, well... It depends on your choice.

- Sourcesafe: Integrated in all recent Visual Studio (microsoft made it), in older visual studios you had to install the VSS client.
- Git: there are many choices to integrate it: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/507343/using-git-with-visual-studio
- Subversion: There are some plugins you can use, most of them are free. https://www.google.es/search?hl=es&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aes-ES%3Aofficial&q=visual+studio+subversion+integration&oq=visual+studio+subversion+integration
- Mercurial: http://blog.dynamicprogrammer.com/2010/02/19/mercurial-integration-with-visual-studio.html

Thanks. The person doing the coding said it's too much work to release source--he is using VS Ultimate and cannot get a simple Hello World program to get uploaded at SourceForge. He tells me he's just do it the 199x way as Arne says, and upload a binary, probably to SkyDrive by Microsoft, and let users recommend it so that it becomes whitelisted by the virus checkers eventually.

Hm.

SF supports CVS, SVN, Mercurial, Git and Bazaar.

VS supports many (all?) of those.

There are nice Windows GUI's for many (all?) of those (Tortoise*).

I doubt it will work today, but he can give it a try.
