ShareNet

ShareNet is a small Go + Fyne file sharing app with two GUI programs:

• sharenet_server: hosts files from server_files/
• sharenet_client: lists, uploads, downloads, and deletes files through the server

The protocol is simple TCP with JSON request headers and raw file bytes for transfers.

Requirements

• Go 1.22+
• A C compiler for Fyne desktop builds

On Windows, scripts\build-windows.ps1 can install missing tools with Scoop after asking for confirmation.

Build

Windows:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts\build-windows.ps1

Linux:

./scripts/build-linux.sh

macOS:

./scripts/build-macos.sh

Outputs are written under dist/.

Runtime folders such as server_files/, client_files/, and downloads/ are created automatically when the apps run and are not tracked by git.

Run

Start the server first, then the client.

Default address:

127.0.0.1:5000

Use 0.0.0.0:5000 on the server if clients on your LAN need to connect.

See RUNBOOK.md for the short operating guide.
