Idk man, Android beam or whatever it's called now is breddy comfy.
Also Bluetooth is fairly easy to setup

>can't transfer a fucking file between any 2 devices easily without a painful setup
The problem is you could do that in 2013.

Airplay from apple is pretty neat bro.
Also dropbox, bro.
Also google drive bro
Also icloud bro.
Also usb cable bro.
Also are you retarded bro?

I actually linked up dropbox on my phone and desktop and it's been pretty good, overall.

I mean a universal and direct way to do it not depending on any ad-hoc software or hardware

Yes, that's what I said.

what was it? torrent?

>not depending on any ad-hoc software or hardware
what the fuck do you even mean by this

for data storage you need hardware at the very least
for a network connection you need network devices

your retarded assertion basically boils down to "why isn't magic real?"

I mean not depending on something like bluetooth or some android software, I want to transfer between (device A that could be android, ios, linux, windows) to (device B that could be android, ios, linux, windows)

KDE network works on my machine

all gay and proprietary

python -m http.server

wow that was difficult

Use SSH/scp/sftp if it's supported (just werks on 95% of Linux/Mac installations)

Otherwise

gist.github.com/willurd/5720255

Blame Windows for being retarded and not having SSH installed by default, and mobile phones for their walled gardens

ftp

Just plug your phone and use it like a flash stick.

syncthing.net/

IR ports.

for real. I felt like I was crazy for a moment. just plug your phone in... it's a folder.

You have 10 seconds to name a way to transfer data from one smartphone to another directly, without a middleman device.

It's AD 2017 you illiterate mongrel.

perl

Bluetooth?
Never used for file sharing for years though. Maybe bluetooth 5 is fast enough

what is ssh
what is a usb flash drive

take sd card out of first phone and put it into second phone

Where you been? Thunderbolt lets me move 250GB+ in 8-12 minutes, AirDrop is about 10-15.

python -m SimpleHTTPServer


i never use any other method now

>Point out this lack of feature in an MPV thread and get told "lol why would you want to watch a dvd anyway". This seems to be a common response from Linux users when their OS doesn't do something that Windows Mac and literally every other consumer media device, games console, TV etc. can handle.

Ah yes, the "superior" Linux experience.

What do you do if you think Windows 10 is a piece of shit and Microsoft are gay, but want something that actually functions. Cos at the moment you're shit out of luck.

>what is FTP
>what is SCP
>what is SMB
>what is USB

are you from 2008? Who watches DVDs? I have not had a DVD drive in any of my computers for like 10 years now.

>using botnet

this so hard

so like a USB chip?
I have one that holds 32GB and you can get ones that hold more.

See what I mean?

I'm moving house in a couple of weeks. Last time I did that I was without internet for a couple of weeks while the internet provider insisted they ship a brand new special router because only this special new one will work and the old one was bricked when the last tenant cancelled their contract.

So I read books and watched a few DVDs on my PC while waiting for internet to arrive. Also there was a crappy CRT TV in the lounge with a DVD player and I showed my housemates a couple shows.

mpv supports DVDs, it just can't play from an ISO without loopback mounting it first

Works fine on the devices I use

How shall a computer do *anything* without instructions? The best you can do is set your devices to sync themselves to each other. Setup once and use it forever. And given how easy big data is making the setup, you have no room to whine about it.

Sage this shit

Holy shit.

Windows to Android is easy.

Why is Android to Android hard?

Ah alright, so you're too stupid to use GNU/Linux. Cool, we don't want you using it either.

>Needing to use proprietary bullshit or the fucking cloud to transfer a file
You're pathetic

Consider this scenario
>want to transfer a 34GB video to my brother who lives in another state
How do you do this without the terribad speeds of sftp or relying on a third party middle man like cuckbox?

torrent

bluray burner
DL bluray disc
send bluray disc via mail

doesn't that require a third party tracker?

SFTP isn't particularly slow, I've gotten ~100Mbps with it. More likely it's due to shit internet and you're not going to be able to fix that by using a different program.

you can add peers directly, or wait until dht does its thing.

Airdrop.

wtf? I have 100Mbps download and when I SFTP files from my seedbox they only come in at ~6Mbps if I'm lucky

so how would I create a torrent that only he and I can access? His dorm blocks port 80btw, not sure if that matters

create a new torrent, set private flag to disable dht (if you absolutely want no one but you two to connect), send the torrent file to him, and add each other as pairs. never tested this without dht.

on my LAN I can SMB/NFS at a gigabit, but SFTP sometimes struggles to get over 500 megabit from the same box.

just connect two pcs with a network cable, its pretty easy, sure you need the cable, but it makes sance that if you have a pc you will have a cable, or you can do it just using wifi though setup can be little complicated

> Airplay from apple is pretty neat bro.
Even as an apple fag, I still have devices that aren't running macOS/iOS
> Also dropbox, bro.
Slow and untrustworthy
> Also google drive bro
Untrustworthy
> Also icloud bro.
Oy vey you have 100MB left because of a WhatsApp backup
> Also usb cable bro.
Inconvenient
> Also are you retarded bro?
Yes

does that actually work? I tried seeding a torrent on a seedbox (rtorrent) and at the same time I was downloading the same torrent on my pc. I tried adding a peer (my home connection) to my seedbox torrent and it didnt work, no matter how many times I tried it would not connect (I would not get external seedbox as a seed on my home pc)

Of course, because SFTP is encrypted and I'm pretty sure both SMB and NFS are not, at least by default. That's to be expected.

SFTP doesn't have anything to do with it. Pic related, 50MB/s over my local network.

>are you from 2008? Who watches DVDs?
Some people still use libraries, user.
They have lots of educational materials :3

ssh ????

syncthing

I sometimes use bluetooth when my phone decides it doesn't know what samba is

your seedbox probably has a shit cpu
SFTP is encrypted
that's what the S is for

AirDrop just werks senpai
