GFile

gfile is a WebRTC based file exchange software.

It allows to share a file directly between two computers, without the need of a third party.

Note

This project is still in its early stage.

As of today, it works well with small files. It doesn't work with huge files, due to disconnection issues. (WIP)

Usage

Sender

gfile send --file filename

• Run the command
• A base64 encoded SDP will appear, send it to the remote client
• Follow the instructions to curl the client's SDP to your process
• The file transfer should start

Due to terms restrictions (ability to treat lines with +1024 characters), the SDP must be sent through curl

Receiver

# SDP being the base64 SDP gotten from the other client
echo "$SDP" | gfile receive -o filename

• Pipe the other client's SDP to gfile
• A base64 encoded SDP will appear, send it to the remote client
• The file transfer should start
