qcp is an application to share files on a local network; it
|
||
|
was inspired by http://www.fefe.de/ncp/.
|
||
|
|
||
|
design goals for qcp:
|
||
|
* offer files for "multiple" downloads (ncp offers data only for one client), i.e. "server" or "persistent" mode
|
||
|
* offer different sets of files (ncp can only offer one download as it uses always the same tcp port 9002)
|
||
|
* discover downloads via multicast DNS-SD (avahi) instead of broadcasts
|
||
|
* different tools:
|
||
|
* qpush: for simple one time push
|
||
|
* qpoll: polls the first "one-time" share it discovers
|
||
|
* qcp: gui for managing persistent shares / downloading other shares
|
||
|
* abilility to limit bandwidth
|
||
|
|
||
|
In order to use avahi from qt there is libqtavahi:
|
||
|
* Signal/Slot based avahi api
|
||
|
* a QAbstractItemModel
|
||
|
|
||
|
qcp uses "_qcp._tcp" as mDNS-SD type; so to fake a share you could use this:
|
||
|
$ avahi-publish-service 'test share' '_qcp._tcp' 9876
