Usage⌗

Download: https://github.com/dhamith93/shortcut/releases

Run the ./shortcut executable. A browser window will be opened with the URL to connect from other devices.

Currently supports Linux/macos/Windows.

Default port is :5500, but it can be changed by editing the config.json file. Make sure to add the semicolon before the port when changing.

Files can be dragged and dropped/uploaded from the browser and can be uploaded/downloaded by anyone visiting the URL from the same network from any device.

Device that runs the executable acts as a centralized server, and the files will be uploaded to the public/files/ dir in the executable path. These files will be removed once the executable is stopped running or the next time it is running if the executable crashed/force closed.

Clipboard function can be used to share links/messages between connected devices real time.
