Avvenu (Italian for 'highway') is a free file sharing service which allows you to remotely view photos and files on your home or office computer from any Internet-connected computer, PDA, or mobile phone. You can also use it to securely (128bit SSL) share access to these files with friends and family.

What's neat about Avvenu is that it matches the connection to the device you're using. For instance, if you are browsing a folder of high-resolution images using a high-speed DSL connection, you'll download the image in the same high-res form as it exists on your computer. But if you browse the folder with a mobile phone or PDA with lower bandwidth capacity, the images are downscaled on-the-fly.

Just recently Avvenu added optimized support (PDF) for Palm devices, including the new Palm TX with WiFi.
