Lanxchange, a java file sharing app

[vektor_alian]

The discussion at

viewtopic.php?t=11390

got me thinking about similar apps that are new and old. I searched Duck and found many new ones and old ones too.

After testing till my tester was sore, I found Lanxchange to be the best of all that I have tried.

https://lanxchange.com/

It has dark mode like settings, auto discovery of other devices, destination folder setting and can broadcast itself to other devices for replication.

It also only presents the offerings from the source for the client to choose instead of just transferring them. I do not have a problem with that. Also folders were no problem unlike some of the other apps.

The transfer rate was nearly 6 MiBs compared to other apps at 2 MiBs on my equipment.

Being a Java app may turn many people off but I like it.

I almost posted in the LocalSend topic but it felt a little hijackjy to me.

@vektor_alian :-

Mm. I came across this one myself! However, I decided against mentioning it in the end, since not everyone wants Java on their system. Wouldn't worry me, personally - I use Java apps quite a lot - but many consider Java to be a security risk....

(*shrug...*)

I shall experiment.

Uh.....thanks for the direct copy/paste from the LanXchange website (I guess!) What's this supposed to prove..?

Most probably planting for spam, Mike. I have had this kind of new user + first post with this kind of post (or odd question) in Fatdog threads, and after sometime, it was edited to contain ads + links to irrelevant sites. I ended up deleting the whole thread. Nowadays, when I see post like this, I would delete it immediately, but this isn't in Fatdog thread, so I'm not authorised to do that. Your call.

I know what it is. Skynet AI scoping us out to send a terminator. Yup!

...and they are not that hard to spot either. This is a prime candidate:
