P2P Sharer is a peer to peer file sharing system that is built on top of IPFS protocol which allows you to directly send your local file to other machine without having to rely on any third party organization like Dropbox and so on.
More than that, it also enables you to add your friend by linking your peers' ipfs ID with the naming you set.
You are required to download and install ipfs, and host your own node by running ipfs daemon before running any command from p2p-sharer.
Clone them:
Then build them, you must have Go and gx installed and build them:
Get all the dependencies (Go and gx)
go mod download
If that doesn't work, try:
go get ./...
Then get gx dependencies by running:
gx install
Then finally build them:
go install
When it's done, you are able to use the CLI, see the guide below.
Or you can get the binaries from this repo.
It is highly suggested that you add your swarm peers as friend before retrieving any item (files or directory) from them.
Add file:
p2p-sharer up "file/directory name"
Add friend:
p2p-sharer addfriend "peer's ID" "friend's name"
Retrieve Object from your added friends:
p2p-sharer retobject "ipfs hash" "friend's name" -o "output file name"
Get your own ipfs ID:
p2p-sharer myid
List your added friends:
p2p-sharer friendlist
Feel free to open any issues, p2p-sharer has been practically tested by the creator and it's working! It's a great file-sharing tools in an organization.
