• examples
  • Send File p2pshare -t send -ip 192.168.10.27 -p 9898 -f myfile.ext
  • Receive File p2pshare -t recv -ip 192.168.10.27 -p 9898 -d /home/user/Downloads

Transfer files over the internet

• Start p2pshare sender

• Using ngrok

  • Download and install ngrok
  • Set auth token generated after registration

    ngrok authtoken [your_token]
    

  • Create TCP tunnel

    ngrok tcp [p2pshare_sender_port]
    

  default p2pshare sender port is 9898

  • After tunnel has been created successfully consider below line from the output:

    Forwarding   tcp://[something].tcp.ngrok.io:[ngrok_port] -> localhost:9898
    

    while connecting use host:[something].tcp.ngrok.io and port:[ngrok_port]

  • Connect to sender

    p2pshare -t recv -i [something].tcp.ngrok.io -p [ngrok_port] -d [save_path]
    

Note

• The files are not encrypted during transmission. To transfer files securely use pysecuretransfer which authenticates user and sends encrypted file which can be decrypted only using user's password.
