Instant messaging file transfers just do not work

A few days ago I wanted to quickly send a file through my instant messaging client which neither worked through xmpp nor icq. It came to my mind that I keep having this problem for years now and having to send files through email sucks.

So I decided to write a small script which is executed from the context menu of konqueror or dolphin (kde file browsers). It compresses a file or directory, sets a password and uploads it to filefactory.com .
