Delivery Boy was created to allow people to easily upload files to a web server, and then send a url to someone to allow them to download it just as easily.
Imagine that you want to send a document to someone, or to multiple people, but don't want to send it as an email attachment, either because of size restrictions, not wanting to use mail attachments, or some other reason. You login to the admin area of Delivery Boy, and upload the file. Delivery Boy then assigns that file a unique download code, and provides you a url. You can then email that url to the person, or people, in question and they can simply download it using a web browser and a single url. They don't need to know or remember any usernames or passwords.
