When you open Witra, you'll see the Network page (Lobby):
- Your profile name is shown at the top — you can change it
- Discovered devices appear as cards below
- Each card shows the device name and connection status
To send files, you first need to connect:
- Click Connect on the device you want to send files to
- The other person will see a connection request popup
- They click Accept to allow the connection
- Once connected, you'll see "Connected" status on both sides
After connecting:
- Click Send Files to select individual files, or
- Click Send Folder to send an entire folder
- Alternatively, drag and drop files directly onto the Witra window
When someone sends you files:
- A transfer automatically starts
- Switch to the Transfers tab to see progress
- Files are saved to
Downloads/Witrain your home folder - Click Open Folder when complete to view received files
The Transfers page shows all file transfers:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Transferring | File is being sent/received |
| Completed | Transfer finished successfully |
| Failed | Something went wrong |
| Cancelled | Transfer was stopped |
- Click Cancel to stop an active transfer
- Click Clear Completed to remove finished transfers from the list
- Minimize to tray: Closing the window minimizes Witra to the system tray. Double-click the tray icon to reopen.
- Drag & drop: Drop files anywhere on the window, then select which connected device to send to.
- Large files: Witra handles files of any size — transfers happen directly over your local network, not the internet.
- Firewall: If devices aren't appearing, check that your firewall allows Witra through (ports 45678 UDP and 45679 TCP).
Devices not appearing?
- Ensure both computers are on the same WiFi network
- Check that Witra is allowed through Windows Firewall
- Try restarting the app
Connection rejected?
- The other person needs to click Accept on the connection request
- Make sure they have Witra open and visible
Transfer failed?

- Ensure the network connection is stable
