1. Python 2.7 or above
2. Python 3 (Note: Both 2 and 3 are necessary)
3. Tkinter GUI library for Python 2.7
4. Netifaces library

For Netifaces : sudo pip3 install netifaces

For Tkinter GUI library: sudo apt-get install python-tk

1. To start the server, run the command : python3 server.py use port number above 1024
2. To start the client, run the command : python client.py

The server side runs automatically and selectively keeps showing notifications as the application goes through various stages. There is nothing to be controlled in the server side once it has started running.

The client side on running produces a starting window which gives 2 options : 1)To register in case you are not a part of the chat application 2)To login in case you are.

On clicking the register button, a new screen is displayed which takes in Server IP, Server port, Username and password to be used for login. After clicking “Register” , if successful, one is redirected to the Login page.

Here, one just needs to enter the Server IP, Server port, Username and password to be used for login. After clicking Login, if authenticated,(credentials are correct), then you are redirected to the chat page.

The list of all online users are displayed on the left side . To send a message to one or more of them, just select your intended recipients and type in the message. Then press enter key or send button and the message is sent! The sent and incoming messages are all shown on the chat screen. To broadcast a message, just don’t select any users and type in your message !

First select the intended recipients as usual. Enter the absolute file path,(or if in the same directory, enter the file name), and then press the ‘Send Multimedia’ button. Please note that max file size for sharing is 100KB .

Just click the cross (‘X’) button on the title bar.

To send the image or chat to multiple clients we can select the intended recipients and type the text message or mutimedia file by clicking 'Send multimedia'

Now through chat we could get image to our pc now if we need to transfer our files from our pc to any device(ie mobiles,tabs,..).

📁 Send files from your Computer to your Phone through WiFi with a QR code

This is a handy little python 3 program that allows you to send files or folders through your Local Area Network (inside your WiFi) by simply scanning a QR Code through your phone! The code is based off sdushantha's amazing work with some added stuff that I found useful plus compatibility with Windows aside from macOS and Linux.

Note that on Windows, the QR Code won't appear inside the powershell/cmd window but instead through an image viewer.

Windows:

Just download and run the latest executable from the releases page above. Alternatively you can do it with the Python script:

1. Install Python 3 if you don't have it.
2. Open powershell and execute: pip install pyqrcode
3. Download the qr-filetransfer-universal.py file from here
4. Run it!

Linux / macOS:

# clone the repo
> git clone https://github.com/CedArctic/qr-filetransfer-universal.git

# install the requirements
> pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Just double click the .py file and drag and drop inside whatever you want to send! Alternatively you can also use the program this way through the command line:

qr-filetransfer-universal.py [-h] -f FILE

Note: Both devices needs to be connected to the same network

Exiting

To exit the program, just press CTRL+C. Dont press CTRL+Z.

Transfer a single file

python3 qr-filetransfer-universal.py -f /path/to/file.txt

Transfer a full directory. Note: the directory gets zipped before being transferred

python3 qr-filetransfer-universal.py -f /path/to/directory/
