tensoid
is a technical attempt to do what http://sendoid.com/ does without flash.
Clone this git repo and do npm install
. The usual node stuff.
Access tendoid
and drag and drop some file, and you'll get an URL. Tell this
URL to someone you want to share the file with. Make sure you are still on the
page when the someone opens the URL. That initiates a file transfer from your
browser to the someone's browser in realtime.
tensoid
works on Chrome and Firefox (6 and probably later). I'm using webkit-prefixed
functions :p I'm planning to make it work with decent web browsers.
To run your own tensoid
, just git clone this repository and run:
$ node app.js
Modify config.js to fit it to your environment.
Or try running demo at http://tensoid.pictshare.me.
Technically, tensoid
does not do exactly how sendoid does its file transfer.
Sendoid uses flash and flash actually allows P2P communications among web
browsers, but tensoid
is sending a chunk to server and the server sends it to
receiver.
Other thing is a name of file downloaded. At the moment, it tries to download with some weird name without file extension. You should rename the name, especially the file extension to use it with appropriate application.
Sendoid for a procedure to initiate file transfer (set file, get url, and let receiver access it).
