Warpinator is a Linux Mint application for sending and receiving files across a local network. It discovers nearby machines automatically via zeroconf and transfers files peer-to-peer over the LAN.

Use cases

  • share files between computers on the same wifi network
  • transfer files from laptop to desktop without a usb drive
  • send files to another linux machine over lan
  • airdrop-like file sharing on linux
  • quickly move photos between home computers

When to choose

  • you want fast, private file transfers without uploading to the cloud
  • all your devices are on the same local network
  • you use Linux Mint or another Linux distro and want a simple GUI

When to avoid

  • you need to transfer files over the internet, not a LAN
  • you need official Windows or macOS support (only unofficial ports exist)
  • you need command-line or scripted transfers
