\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Looking for a peer to peer file transfer app that works outside the local network? Warp is the stupid simple application to do the trick for Linux.<\/p>\n

There are a few applications for LAN file transferring, such as Warpinator<\/a> and Dukto<\/a>. For sending date all over the world, Warp is a new GTK4 app for transferring any arbitrary-sized files and directories without struggling with Linux command or using a cloud service.<\/p>\n

The app provides a stupid simple interface with 2 tabs: Send<\/b> and Receive<\/b>. Simply click on the “send file” (or folder) button and select your data, it will generate a transmit code. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On another machine with the app installed, type the code in “Receive” tab and click “Receive File” button will start transferring data.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Every file transfer is encrypted<\/b> using the Magic Wormhole protocol<\/a>. And, it will directly transfer files on the local network if possible. Though, an internet connection is required to connect to rendezvous server<\/a> so sender and receiver can find each other over the internet.<\/p>\n

How to Install Warp in Linux:<\/h3>\n

NOTE: The app is in early age that may have bugs. At the moment of writing, it provides binary package for most Linux systems and Chrome OS using Flatpak package<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For Ubuntu, firstly press Ctrl+Alt+T on keyboard to open terminal. When it opens, run the command to install flatpak daemon:<\/p>\n

sudo apt install flatpak<\/pre>\n
Other Linux & Chrome OS may follow this setup guide<\/a> to install the daemon.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Next, install the app using command:<\/p>\n
flatpak install https:\/\/dl.flathub.org\/repo\/appstream\/app.drey.Warp.flatpakref<\/pre>\n
For first time installing Flatpak app on Ubuntu 22.04, you need a system restart to make the app icon available in search result.<\/i><\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
Once installed, either press Super\/Windows<\/i> key on keyboard and search for and open the app, or run command flatpak run app.drey.Warp<\/code> to start it from terminal. <\/p>\n
Remove Warp file transfer<\/h3>\n
To remove the app, run command in a terminal window:<\/p>\n
flatpak uninstall --delete-data app.drey.Warp<\/pre>\n
And clean un-used run time via: flatpak uninstall --unused<\/code>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
