QuickSend

This package is meant to make it easy to send files from one system to another without requiring any configuration or extra setup

The Problem

There are millions of file transfer utilities out there and they all suck, it's annoyingly hectic to get a file from one place to another. Your options are:

• Send an email
• Upload/Download from a cloud
• Set up a samba server
• Set up an rsync daemon
• Set up an sshd server for scp
• Set up an FTP server
• Do it manually with a USB stick

It's too many hoops! All I want to do is basically "cp" from one system to another with no hassle.

The Solution

QuickSend is a simple program that doesn't try to do any more than it should. All it does is transfer files, no configuration necessary.

To receive a file, run:

quicksend -r

Then on the sending machine

quicksend 192.168.1.xxx 12345 file_to_send

That is all. File transferred, hassle free (except for installing quicksend), extremely tiny, simple, program that will take up nearly no space. Currently compiles to 105kb on my system
