File Transfer Tool

This idea came to me while I was creating a tool to manage an IP blacklist (Palo Alto EDL). I have also written a full blog post about it—check it out here. The original tool was designed specifically for uploading and downloading a text file.

But what if we had a tool that could handle general file uploads and downloads? With a few modifications, I was able to turn it into a more versatile file-sharing solution.

Features:

• Upload and download files with a single executable, with a progress bar.
• Display the checksum of uploaded and downloaded files.
• Easily share files—just send the .exe version to a friend and share the download URL.

This tool utilizes tmpfiles.org, a free temporary file hosting service, by integrating its API for seamless file sharing.

Here is the GUI of the application:

We can convert these as .exe file, to do that refer to the following links:

Thanks for the interest.
