We sometimes need to share/recieve large files (sometimes in the gigabytes) to outside contractors or customers. These files are mostly CAD drawings, but could include almost anything. We want to only allow the the outside customer/contractor to upload/download their own files and cannot see anything else. Nothing unusual here.
While we could use FTP, that isn't usually the most user-friendly method. FTP also requires IT time to set up the location for the files, permissions, and the user account. What options are out there to make this entire process easier?
Update: Come to find out after talking to the user more. It is sending files out not receiving files in. We are setting them up with SugarSync to send out a link to the files on their servers.

We use a secure ftp server that requires ssl auth. Each project has its own folder under /home/projectdocs/projectname. Each company involved has a login and a sub directory. We usually work with their IT group to script a sync to the source companies external file server. This way the contractors upload the data to a mapped drive within their company's firewall. The data is then syncd to our server every 10 minutes or so. Alternatively we provide the contractor a copy of filezilla to connect to our ftp directly. Filezilla is a great GUI for ftp. No IT knowledge needed.

A little bit complex to set up if you haven't had experience with Linux before, but if you got a pc and installed linux on it you could have lots of user accounts (one for each customer/contractor) which has a 'My Documents'-like folder (/home/username) that you could copy files to that you wanted to share with them. They could then retrieve the files with sftp or keep their filesystems in sync with rsync.
An additional complication is that you'll need to port forward on your router to the linux box. Have a look on portforward.com for this is you have difficulties.

You could make a Dropbox or Box.net account and create separate folders for each contractor. Then they could login via the web to upload/download. Or, if they download the client app, they'll have a folder on their machine that syncs with you.
The question is whether you can afford to pay the steep rates.

There are any number of hosted services and locally-hostable services that allow the upload and download of files, and Google will provideth, but never underestimate the bandwidth of a USB stick and a courier -- around the same city, a motorbike courier can get that sort of thing from point A to point B in under an hour, and an overnight courier can get it across the country.

We use UD Dropbox to solve this issue. You have to be able to have your own server to host it though. It's available here:

I ended up myself using git with LFS support. Seems to work quite well. If the firewall is blocking port 22 (default SSH), then using HTTPS protocol to checkout repository worked for me.
For example with Bitbucket:

On the contrary, it most certainly is a solution.

There are any number of hosted services and locally-hostable services that allow the upload and download of files, and Google will provideth, but never underestimate the bandwidth of a USB stick and a courier -- around the same city, a motorbike courier can get that sort of thing from point A to point B in under an hour, and an overnight courier can get it across the country.

We use UD Dropbox to solve this issue. You have to be able to have your own server to host it though. It's available here:

I ended up myself using git with LFS support. Seems to work quite well. If the firewall is blocking port 22 (default SSH), then using HTTPS protocol to checkout repository worked for me.
For example with Bitbucket:

You want publicly available files and also restrict access to files, but not setup permissions and user accounts?

Your question is a bit unclear here. Are you the system administrator? Do you have the ability to setup server system to publish content, will you be able to open your firewalls to permit this?

I am looking for options to transfer files back and forth. Files much too large for email. Everything secure.

IPSwitch offers a hosted MOVEit DMZ product. Their products supposedly pass PCI-DSS compliance checks. There are other similar products from BISCOM and Accelion. Some products are available as a service, and some you could set up on a colocated server.

Reconsider FTP. It's accessible with a web browser and your IT staff should be able to offer access to a small set of contractor accounts in no more than an afternoon.
