Zget

A simple, zeroconf-based, p2p file transfer utility. A port of zget.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem "zget"

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install zget

$ zput awesome_file.zip

Then the other end can just:

$ zget awesome_file.zip

$ zget awesome_file.zip

Then the other end can just:

$ zput awesome_file.zip

In case of complicated filenames you can use aliases or have zget/zput generate one for you:

$ zput myReaLlyComp_licat3d_fiLeNam3.zip
Download this file using `zget myReaLlyComp_licat3d_fiLeNam3.zip` or `zget e208`

Also zget can generate an alias so you can initiate the transfer without knowing what file will be transferred:

$ zget
Upload a file using `zput <filename> 8332`

To see the available options you can just run:

$ zget -h

or

$ zput -h

Unfortunately this version isn't compatible with python's zget. The main reason is because dnssd doesn't play well with service names with a dot, therefore we can't use the same service name as python's zget.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.

• Improve the test suite
