From the client is easy since we have the system tray menu and the 'upload file' entry there. See FileTransfers.

It would be nice to be able to do the same thing from the server: show a file select dialog and upload from there.

Done in r24740.

Use:

xpra send-file

From within an xpra session.

To send a file from an ssh session, the control command is a better option (see FileTransfers)

r26173 makes this even easier and shows a "Download file" menu entry in the "Server" submenu of the system tray. (this just runs xpra send-file in the server session).
