File transfer via rifts.

Really instant file transfer (rift) is a peer-to-peer file transfer command line tool. Rift is instant in the sense that it requires minimal setup and does not involve the inconveniences of file size limits or authentication procedures. As a bonus, you receive the benefits of tab completion and integration with the CLI tool belt.
