![]() ![]() If you are confused about using Flatpak, read our guide on how to set up Flatpak in Ubuntu and other Linux distributions. There is a package available in Arch repositories so that you can install it through: sudo pacman -S warpinatorįor Ubuntu, you need to either install it from the source or use the Flatpak version on Flathub. If you are a Linux Mint or an LMDE user, you can install it using the command: sudo apt install warpinator Warpinator is a tool, developed by the Linux Mint team, to share files between systems. A command-line tool called Magic-Wormhole.Here, I shall cover some of the open-source applications that let you transfer files: Today we will see an even easier way to transfer files among Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X on the local network. ![]() We have previously seen how to transfer files between Ubuntu and Windows on the local network. If the computers are on the same local network, why not share the files directly via the network? ![]() Using USB disks just to transfer files between computers that are connected to the same local network is not an intelligent solution. You can use OnionShare to send files and folders to people securely and anonymously.If you have several computers running various operating systems, you might wonder how to share files between Linux, Windows, and Mac. Open a share tab, drag in the files and folders you wish to share, and click “Start sharing”.Īfter you add files, you’ll see some settings. Make sure you choose the setting you’re interested in before you start sharing.Īs soon as someone finishes downloading your files, OnionShare will automatically stop the server, removing the website from the Internet. To allow multiple people to download them, uncheck the “Stop sharing after files have been sent (uncheck to allow downloading individual files)” box.Īlso, if you uncheck this box, people will be able to download the individual files you share rather than a single compressed version of all the files. When you’re ready to share, click the “Start sharing” button. You can always click “Stop sharing”, or quit OnionShare, immediately taking the website down. You can also click the “↑” icon in the top-right corner to show the history and progress of people downloading files from you. Now that you have a OnionShare, copy the address and send it to the person you want to receive the files. If the files need to stay secure, or the person is otherwise exposed to danger, use an encrypted messaging app. ![]() That person then must load the address in Tor Browser. After logging in with the random password included in the web address, the files can be downloaded directly from your computer by clicking the “Download Files” link in the corner. You can use OnionShare to let people anonymously submit files and messages directly to your computer, essentially turning it into an anonymous dropbox. Open a receive tab and choose the settings that you want. You can browse for a folder to save messages and files that get submitted. You can check “Disable submitting text” if want to only allow file uploads, and you can check “Disable uploading files” if you want to only allow submitting text messages, like for an anonymous contact form. You can check “Use notification webhook” and then choose a webhook URL if you want to be notified when someone submits files or messages to your OnionShare service. If you use this feature, OnionShare will make an HTTP POST request to this URL whenever someone submits files or messages.įor example, if you want to get an encrypted text messaging on the messaging app Keybase, you can start a conversation with type !webhook create onionshare-alerts, and it will respond with a URL. Use that as the notification webhook URL. If someone uploads a file to your receive mode service, will send you a message on Keybase letting you know as soon as it happens. When you are ready, click “Start Receive Mode”. ![]()
