Teleport

Teleport is a native GTK3 app to effortlessly share files on the local network.

It's our answer to the question

Why is the easiest way to move a file between two computers in the same room sending it to a server in another country and retrieving it from there?

Teleport is designed to be a replacement for using USB keys or emailing stuff to yourself just so you have them on another device on your desk. The main user interface on the receiver's side are notifications:

Install

Teleport is currently in early development, but you can try it by installing it via flatpak. If you're running a modern GNU/Linux distro you should already have flatpak, or be able to install it from your repositories.

If you have GNOME Software (or another GUI app to install flatpaks), just download this file and open it in Software (your browser should offer to do that before downloading).

Otherwise you can also install it from the command line:

flatpak install --from  http://frac-tion.com/teleport-flatpak/teleport.flatpakref

Roadmap

We are currently working on an MVP for a native GNOME app that only sends files, but longer term we are interested in doing things like:

drag & drop files to send them
sending text snippets
file transfer progress bars
settings dialog
file encryption
native Android/iOS/macOS/Windows apps
