Congratulations to Tom Patzig, currently serving in the openSUSE KDE Team, for the first release of Kepas: "Kepas is a KDE4 file transfer tool. It discovers your local LAN for buddies (KDNSSD) and lets you transfer files or Klipper entries from a tray icon or via drag'n'drop with the Kepas plasmoid." Please give him much feedback what to improve until 1.0! 
Credits for the original idea and implementation go to Giver which was born during our first Hack Week.
The code is in KDE SVN within playground/network, hence openSUSE users can find it as part of playground-network.rpm (openSUSE 10.3 One-Click Install) in the KDE:KDE4 Build Service project.

Awesome
This is fantastic, very usefully functionality. I think that it should be integrated into KDE.
An idea I've had for sometime: maybe Kepas could also handle transfers to users on the same computer. I sometimes want to give some pics or some files to my wife, and if they are too heavy sending them over email is not practical. So you need to have some other shared partition or change some folder permissions which is not very elegant.
How about sending a file to a another user of the same computer, copying the file to a Kepas temp directory, and when that other user logs in Kepas pops up with a message "user x wants to send you a file" (and maybe a user comment). Wouldn't that be also a great way to ensure the first thing he/she will do after log in is to see your message?. No need any more for post-it on the computer screen for the other members of the family!
Maybe it is an idea for another plasmoid or app, but it could also be integrated into Kepas. What do you think?
