compilation

there are prebuilt binaries attached below for windows

for linux and macos, you will need to compile xpsync yourself

networking info

windows

press allow when prompted by windows firewall about xpsync. If you accidentally press cancel, manually allow xpsync through control panel.

linux

most distros come with no firewall, so just run it and you'll be good to go. If you have installed a firewall, configure it to allow incoming connections on port 5678

mac

i dont own a mac so i have no idea, probably press allow if it asks you, otherwise you should also be good to go.

v1.1.0

this release brings two new features:

• The old transfer implementation was very shitty because it required loading the entire file into memory via a buffer. This has been improved with readers/writers and files can now be directly sent over the network as they are read.
• There's now a transfer dialog inspired by the xp file download dialog, as you previously had no clue of the transfer status. See the picture below.

that is all, also the web portal MIGHT be getting a makeover soon

v1.0.0

First release!

For Windows users

Launching xpsync for the first time, windows firewall will prompt you about xpsync wanting to communicate with other devices on the network since, well, the entire point of xpsync is sending files to other devices on the network. You will need to press "Allow" here for xpsync to work. The prompt looks similar to this:

If you accidentally press "Cancel" here, you will need to go into Windows Defender settings and allow xpsync. To do that, see the guide on the wiki.

For Linux users

Many Linux distros don't come with a firewall enabled by default, so you might not need to do anything. If you have installed a firewall though, configure it to allow incoming connections on port 5678.

For macOS users

On mac, you might get a prompt similar to that on Windows, make sure to click allow. Its also very possible you get no prompt at all and everything just works like on Linux.
