We're pretty much in need of tools like this. The alternative is to send the file to file sharing services in other countries then fetch them again from the other computer in the same LAN.
But unfortunately this is still too cumbersome for my personal use cases, which involve Windows machines I don't personally use unless sporadically.
- juliangoldsmith 10y agoA SAMBA share would be a better option there. That said, I agree this sort of tool would be useful. I'm not sure why I'd use this rather than piping cat into nc, though.
- fiatjaf 10y agoSAMBA is still too complicated. I was thinking something that didn't need to be installed.
- Vendan 10y agoHeh, I was actually having the same issue yesterday, and so I whipped up a quick program to fix it: https://github.com/andyleap/fileportal https://github.com/andyleap/fileportal Not encrypted or anything fancy, only works if the 2 computers can see each other via UDP broadcast, but run `fileportal -i <filetosend>` on one and just `fileportal` on the other and the file will pop out there! (and I have builds for all kinds of platforms up there, windows/linux/macos/netbsd/openbsd/freebsd, and multiple archs for each!)
