Dragit helps you share files between computers in the same network.
The application uses mDNS for automatic device discovery with help of libp2p library. The GUI is implemented in gtk-rs.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Requires no configuration.
- Single purpose – does only one thing and nothing more.
- Automatically checks the firewalld config on Linux distros and offers opening the ports. The check is done against firewalld daemon and uses its D-Bus interface. User is asked for permissions, because some systems require authorization for inspecting firewalld rules (such as Ubuntu).
- Cross-platform support – runs under Linux and Windows.
