February 8, 2009

Giver is simple file sharing desktop application. It works on Linux, at my case - Ubuntu and it allows you to easily drag and drop files to users on your network. Other people running Giver will be automatically detected and you can send files by simply drag and drop files into their icon shown on Giver window or click on the recipient and select Give a file or Give a folder. The recipient of the files is warned that a user wishes to send files so it can accept or decline them. To install giver on Ubuntu open your terminal and enter: sudo apt-get install giver This application is absolute must in file transfers on your home or company network.
