SiLaS

Simple Lan Server

Transfering files between different platforms can be a slow process. You could install and configure SSH on each individual machine and use SCP to transfer... You could install a FTP server on one machine and FTP clients on dozens or hundreds of other machines... You could pass around physical media after properly configuring NTFS-3g... You could install Dropbox or use Google drive if the files are small...

Or you could use SiLaS

• No installation: Just download and run.
• Minimal configuration: Select a file and click 'host'.
• No client needed: All machines on the LAN can download the files using only a browser.
• No size restriction: Quickly transfer huge files between machines using just your router.

Downloading

Standalone executables are available under the directory 'out/'. Right click the appropriate version and select 'save as'.
