21Lane

This project is no longer maintained.

A simple, point-to-point / group file sharing solution. For old version, consider branch v1, or find older releases here.

What can I do with this ?

• Share some folder on your system, to be available to other device/group.
• Download from other device / from other peers on the same group.

Are there any requirements ?

No. The application is built to click and run.

I cannot access my system using IP address!

Your computer should be accessible by your IP address.
This is a problem when you are behind a router, proxy, wifi etc.
For systems on same network & behind proxy, make sure localhost is not using proxy settings.
There are some geeky methods like port forwarding, you can go for.

What if I don't want to share to other peers ? Any use in that case ?

• Leave the Group URL field empty, and start sharing.
• You have the link. Copy that link and use it the way you want.

If you are a developer, trying to tinker with it, just install the dependencies from requirements.txt file.

How to tinker with / contribute to it ?

git clone https://github.com/himanshub16/21lane.git 
cd 21lane 
virtualenv -p python3 myftp
source myftp/bin/activate 
pip3 install -r requirements.txt 

python3 21Lane/start.py

You are all set.
