Re: Question About Free File Transfering Apps

Dear Richard,

But I never use pre-complied packages since by doing this I won't know whether I will install proprietary binaries.

Yours,
Carter

Dear Richard,

Thank you for your reply. LocalSend, LanXchange, LANDrop, NitroShare, Sharik, Warpinator, TrebleShot have their respective problems.

LocalSend is not available in Debian's and Trisquel's official repositories, and it is not so convenient to complie it from source using a machine with a memory of 8GB.

LanXchange is not available in Debian's and Trisquel's official repositories, source as well, and its source complication on my machine fails.

The Android client for LANDrop is not libre.

NitroShare, Sharik, Warpinator and TrebleShot are all no longer updated and the latest version of them cannot be complied on modern GNU/Linux environment.

In addition, KDE Connect sometimes disconnects and cannot reconnect.

Yours,
Carter

KDE connect? That has clients for many systems.

But the question is, what's the issue with the existing solutions? It's quite a useless task to recommend file transfer apps when they all have the same issue you try to avoid.
