Freelancers, how do you handle deliveries to remote clients?

Skype does screen sharing and has widespread deployment outside of techie culture. My deliverables are usually code, not data, but it has come in handy a couple of times to troubleshoot/teach.

Also, MSN has "remote assistance" built in.

And finally, there's a heap of screen sharing services out there -- others are giving better answers than me with regards to them.

I'd highly recommend you drop the "FTP site" and just use Dropbox: Affiliate link | Normal link. (I'm not above getting a little bit of extra space for free. ;) )

Workflow: drop deliverables into a subfolder under the "public" folder. Right click, copy the public link location, give it to the client. Wait for them to download it, then remove it from Dropbox to free your space back up. You get 2 gigs for free, which if you're only using it to transfer deliverables, is a pretty decent amount.

Webex and Filezilla Server for sFTP (with files compressed jZip)

(The 'Host' can give control to users to their desktop/applications and it quicky solves issues - good for Demo's)

*Fast Broadband 15Mbps+ (or faster) helps deliver large files fast.

I've used ReadyTalk, which has per-minute pricing.
