Droopy is a mini web server whose sole purpose is to let others upload files to your computer.
Droopy is a mini web server that’s designed to make it easy for you to receive files on your computer — and is especially useful for those times when a less-than-tech-savvy client wants to send you a large file. Instead of them trying to send the file over IM or FTP, or using a service like Dropbox, just give them your Droopy address and they can upload the file using their browser; it will be saved directly onto your machine.
For the security conscious, Droopy is upload-only (people can’t download files using it, or even see what files are on your machine), and files can only be uploaded while Droopy is running so the user has total control over their own security.

Droopy is a Python based script and requires Python to be installed. (It is not an installer as such so requires a little bit of work to get it running).
Initially I found using Droopy on Windows a little confusing so I created a little tutorial to help others who might need it. It can be found HERE:
