Share files over the local network between computers from the commandline.

Easiest way to install is to use pip. This project requires Python 3 for now.

$ pip install localshare

To share a file, cd into the folder and run

$ localshare share myfile.txt

On the receiver end

$ localshare download myfile.txt

To see a list of all available files

$ localshare download

Then you can choose a file to download or press ctrl + c to quit.

By default the sharing server will close after any peer downloads your file. To keep it running indefinitely

$ localshare share myfile.txt --forever

Again, ctrl + c to close the server.

Create a virtualenv, make sure you're using Python 3. For example on my machine I do

$ virtualenv -p python3.4 env
$ . env/bin/activate

Then install the dependencies

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Run the tests using pytest, add more if you want.

$ py.test

Setup the app for tinkering

$ pip install --editable .

Now try out the commands, add new features and enjoy.
