A simple and fast file transfer tool that allows you to share files across your local network with a beautiful CLI interface.

• Fast file transfers over local network
• QR code generation for easy access
• Beautiful terminal UI with progress tracking
• Support for both uploads and downloads
• Web-based interface accessible from any device

Run the install script which automatically detects your platform:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Tony-ArtZ/goxfer/main/install.sh | bash

Or with wget:

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Tony-ArtZ/goxfer/main/install.sh | bash

For Windows (PowerShell):

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Tony-ArtZ/goxfer/main/install.ps1 | iex

1. Download the latest release for your platform from the releases page
2. Extract the archive
3. Move the binary to a directory in your PATH

If you have Go installed:

git clone https://github.com/Tony-ArtZ/goxfer.git
cd goxfer
go build -o goxfer

Run goxfer to start the application:

goxfer

The application will:

1. Start a local web server on an available port (starting from 8080)
2. Display your local IP address and a QR code
3. Show an interactive CLI for managing file transfers

Once the application is running, you can share files by entering their path in the CLI:

1. Enter the path to the file or directory you want to share
2. The file will be queued and available for download
3. Users on the network can download the file via the web interface

Access the web interface by:

• Scanning the QR code with your phone
• Opening the displayed URL in any browser on your network

Goxfer creates a local HTTP server that allows devices on your network to:

• Download files that you explicitly queue from the CLI
• Upload files to the server directory
• View transfer progress in real-time

All transfers happen directly over your local network - no internet connection required!

• No external dependencies required for the binary
• Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows
• Requires devices to be on the same local network

If you are unable to access the file transfer interface from another device:

1. Ensure both devices are connected to the same local network
2. Check your firewall settings to ensure the application is allowed to accept incoming connections
3. Verify that the port (default 8080) is not being blocked
