Airshare: Free P2P and Network File Sharing (Open-source)

Airshare is a Python-based CLI tool and module that lets you transfer data between two machines in a local network, P2P, using Multicast-DNS. It also opens an HTTP gateway for other non-CLI external interfaces. It works completely offline!

Airshare is built with aiohttp and zeroconf.

Features

• Blazing fast content transfer within a local network.
• Lets you transfer plain text, send from or receive into your clipboard.
• Supports transfer of multiple files, directories and large files - content is sent chunk by chunk and never read into memory entirely.
• Lets you send files whose paths have been copied into the clipboard (more details in the docs).
• Cross-platform, works on Linux, Windows and Mac (CLI and Web Interface), and also supports mobile (Web Interface).
• Uses Multicast-DNS service registration and discovery - so you can access content with human-readable code words.
• Can be used as a module in other Python programs.

• Linux
