ZTransfer

A program that makes use of websockets to provide a real-time interface for simple LAN file transfer. Not intended for public facing servers, as this assumes that all users on your network are trusted individuals. Currently very limited.

Use Cases

• Transfer files between different computers on a home network without the need of a flash drive or some other hardware.
• Provide a transfer mechanism between a host machine and a guest machine in case you're too lazy to setup shared folders with a VM.

"Documentation"

Command Line Use

• ztransfer starts the server on whatever the .env specifies or port 3000
• ztransfer (port) starts the server on a specified port, ignoring .env
