Program Manual
Drag-and-drop File Sharing System.
N/A.
Installations for Windows, Linux and Mac OS (DnD_install.jar) are available now.
The System is built to provide disruption-tolerant file sharing service in wired, traditional wireless or Ad-Hoc network environment. Services on the local network can be automatically discovered without user's configuration.
1. Cross-platform. The system can run on Windows, Linux and Mac OS platforms.
2. Zero configuration. Hosts that run the application can automatically discover each others to form a network group. Hosts can leave or join the group, all the members will be notified and automatically update the member list.
4. Disruption-tolerant. The system can handle all exceptions during file transfer.
5. Multiple files transfer. Multiple files can be selected and transferred by one drag-and-drop action.
N/A.
N/A.
Due to likely faulty implementation of the Java Transferhandler for drag-and-drop on Linux, sending
files is not working. However, files can still be received.
