Oscar is a real nifty piece of work.  It was written by Pete Helme of Mac DTS
[who is one of the nicer guys you're ever going to meet, BTW].  Under 
MultiFinder, it lurks in the background, watching some specific folders.
Whenever you drag something into one of the special folders, it automatically
sends it to the corresponding folder on the machine that that folder has been
set up to send to.  That machine then gets a notification that a file has 
arrived.  It's available on the Apple FTP site [apple.apple.com], but if
you don't have access to that I can E-Mail it to you.
