Hey ,

I want to mention of an application,simple yet efficient one.
Except the name it has,everything is smooth =)

Giver is an application which lets you share files/folders between computers without needing any configuration at all.

Application uses Avahi system which enables service discovery on a local network.

You can create an Ad-Hoc network and share files using ‘Giver’ without making any effort and needing any wire.

Of course we can’t say that it’s perfect,since it does not have “pause” or “stop” function for ongoing transfers,which makes you try to close the application if you started a transfer by mistake

Also it works only if both of the computers are using Linux.You can’t discover nor share files with computers using Windows or MacOS.

Yet it’s an open source application,and can be improved ! Actually me and one of my friends are planning to make an application again using Avahi,trying to fix the problems we’ve seen in Giver and improving the functionality.

I don’t know if we’ll be able to come up with a better application or not,but its name will be better,i promise..

Here are some screenshots to give you the idea of how it works.
