Warpinator: Share files easily to each other locally without any cables




I heard about warpinator in 2022 when it was bundled by default in the linuxmint installation for easy file

sharing in the local area network.



Bro! What’s local area network?


Local Area Network is the network which you have hosted at your home. For example, if you have a wifi router

and 4-5 devices are connected to it. So, Each device is connected to each other via the wifi router.



With Warpinator you can share files to anyone who is logged in to the same network. I am also trying it for the

first time so let’s learn together.


Open warpinator by pressing the windows key or super key for linux enthusiasts.


It will tell you to input a secret password. Put it and if you have not set warpinator on any device it will show

“No other computer found...”


Now install warpinator on your android phone or windows laptop. As of today warpinator supports Windows,

Android, Linux and iOS. 


For Windows it is called Winpinator https://winpinator.swisz.cz/ 

Android app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=slowscript.warpinator



After installing you will automatically see devices pop-up in both your devices. 


Click on something to share and watch it go.



You better use this method if you care about privacy as all the protocols used in these are open sourced

meaning each line of code is available for the developers to check and audit. If there would be any

discrepencies it would had been called out already.


I know there’s something like google nearby Share and it’s good with android ecosystem there’s no doubt.

We don’t know the protocols and code used beneath as it is closed source.
