TCP Connection between TC instances
Posted: 2021-05-21, 15:53 UTC
Currently, when I want to transfer files between computers, I have a button that starts an anonymous FTP server in the current dir and then I go to the other computer and connect to it to download a file.
It would be really neat if I could select files or directories, click on "send to...", select a previous IP on the dropdown (or type a new one) and receive it on the other TC.
I know it would require TC to be listening and many people wouldn't want a server up running all the time. I would be ok if I had to click on the TC somewhere to enable receiving the content and then the server would close automatically after the transmission was complete. It would be cleaner and safer than what I do currently.
So, go to TC #1, select "receive from other TC" (we could even select an IP so that attempts from other machines would be automatically rejected).
Go to TC #2, select the content to be transferred, select "Transfer to.." and pick the IP of the receiver.
After the transmission is complete, TC #1 is no longer accepting connections.
