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.
