Chungles allows file-sharing between computers on local networks regardless of the platform used. This software is capable of running on any operating system.
Chungles is a file-sharing program designed for local networks that can be operated on any platform. One of the stand-out features of this program is its utilization of ZeroConf (JmDNS libraries) for computer detection, allowing for effortless file sharing across platforms with a simple drag and drop function. The program's graphical user interface (GUI) is built in SWT which enables the application to function with native graphics. Chungles was written in Java, making it a portable option for users.
The program has certain requirements, where Java 1.4.2 or later is needed for the software to function. The installation process includes getting SWT libraries for your particular system, extracting them in the necessary directory folder, and ensuring that java and javac are in the user's path or editing compile.sh/compile.bat and run.sh/run.bat and setting the JAVA environment variable to the path for java binaries. For *nix systems, running the compile.sh command and running the compile.bat command for Windows users is necessary for installation.
Once installed, the program can be run easily on *nix systems by entering the command run.sh into the command line. Chungles has undergone recent changes, featuring the ability to send files via IP Multicast, allowing you to send a single file out to all Chungles clients on a local network. In summary, Chungles is a must-have option for those searching for a performant and portable file-sharing program for local networks.
