Free managed file transfer software for linux

File Beamer is an easy to use file transfer tool. The programm is platform independent. That means it runs with Windows 98/ME/2000/XP, Linux, Unix and MacOS X.

This is made possible by using Trolltechs Qt Library which provides an easy to use GUI toolkit, networking functions and a lot more.

File Beamer is free open source software and was released under the GPL license.

Usage:

Receiving files:

Click the "Receive" tab
If the receiver is behind a firewall or router, check "reverse connection" and enter the senders IP or host name. *
Click the "listen" button. The client can now receive files
When receving a file, a "Save as" dialog appears. Choose a place to safe the file.

Sending files:

Click the "Send" tab
If the receiver is behind a firewall or router check "reverse connection" *
Else input the target IP address or host name and port
Select a file to send either by typing the path or by clicking the "..." button
Click the "Send" button (target must be in listen mode)

This is an application to compile assembler files and transfer them from Linux to the XGS (SX28/52 microcontrollers) with the SX-Key.

It requires QT 4, WINE and the SASM assembler. The 0.02 version contains just the transfer part. The newer versions also contain the rest of the IDE to compile the source code and transfer the files.

libptp2 is a library used to communicate with PTP devices like still imaging cameras or MP3 players (KODAK mc3).
You can download files or tweak camera properties using ptpcam program boundled with libptp2.
Supported Cameras
The list of cameras implementing PTP is constantly growing. Most (if not all) USB still cameras designed after 2002 are supporting PTP. Below is the list of vendors implementing PTP in their cameras:
- Kodak
- HP
- Nikon
- Canon
- Panasonic
- Olympus
- Konica
- Minolta
- Fuji
- Ricoh
- Sony
More are comming...
Please note that if your camera is supporting PTP it does not mean that it is capable of performing all PTP operations (like trigerring capture, uploading files or tweaking properties). Sony cameras are good example of poor PTP implementation where the only thing you can do is downloading files. Sony even breaks the USB specification assigning all its cameras the same product/vendor IDs so dont buy Sony if you want to stay out of problems.
Currently most PTP features are supported. Uploading/downloading files, taking pictures and setting camera properties is supported as long as your camera supports it. However there are many Vendor Extensions that are not supported.
For example Canon uses some proprietary extension operations to take pictures (entering capture mode, extending lens and so on), Nikon introduces proprietary PTP properties.
Unfortunately I have access to couple of Kodak cameras only so to help support extension features you may send me a patch or donate/lend the camera.
Enhancements:
- A number of bugs were fixed, including leaving the camera in an unpredictable state when an I/O error occurs.
- The projects own reimplementation of the old libusb interface (IOCTL_USB_BULK) is used instead of the new URB interface, which is 20% to 50% slower and sometime leads to I/O errors.
- File time preservation across download was added.
- Better capture support was added.
- A bug that caused files over 2MB to be corrupted while downloading was fixed.
- The --loop-capture feature was added.
- Configure errors and parralel build with make -j were fixed.

KLopsterUtils is a useful Tool for Lopster to view File Transfer Statistic, User Browse ( you can use filters ) and many more.
KLopsterUtils is same than lopster-tools but written in C++/QT/KDE, much better Performance and Optical Oversight.
Enhancements:
- Main actions (Browse and Statistic) from the menu were added to the history popup menu.
- Dir Watch was also added to the history menu.

Transfer to Media Device is a script that creates a new Playlist Right Click Menu item for transferring selected playlist items to your iPod via the Media Device Browser.
This script now also supports generic copy to operation for USB mass storage devices. Currently the script will prompt for a destination directory on first copy, in the future this setting will be saved in a configuration file.
This script works with amaroK 1.3beta3 and above.
Usage:
Run from the amaroK script manager. A new menu item will appear in the Playlist right mouse button menu.
Select files in the playlist and Right click -> Transfer to -> iPod for transfering to an iPod.
Select files in the playlist and Right click -> Transfer to -> USB Device for transfering to a USB device.
Enhancements:
- Add support for Creative Nomad Jukebox devices using the kionjb kioslave. Thanks to Ralf T for the patch.

PipeBandwidth is a program that measures the speed at which data goes through a pipe and prints statistics to stderr.

Basically, it just reads from stdin, writes data back to stdout, and measures the speed. PipeBandwidth can be useful to measure transfer rates while sending data through netcat or compressing with gzip or bzip2.

Concepts project is a C++ class library for solving elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs) numerically.

The design principle is the transfer of mathematical objects and grammar used to specify mathematical and numerical models of physical systems isomorphically into simulation software.

The design realization uses the C++ functionality of inheritance and derived classes.
