Wireless, encrypted file transfer over automatically configured ad hoc networking. No network infrastructure required (access point, router, switch). Just two laptops (Mac, Linux, and Windows supported) with wireless chips in close range.

Don't have a flash drive? Don't have access to a wireless network or don't trust one? Need to move a file larger than 2GB between different filesystems but don't want to set up a file share? Try it out!

• Cross-platform: Linux, Mac, and Windows.

• Transfer multiple files at once, without losing progress if the transfer is interrupted or canceled.

• Speeds over 120mbps (with laptops close together).

• Does not use Bluetooth or your local network, just wireless chip to wireless chip.

• Files encrypted in transit.

• Large files supported (<10MB RAM usage while transferring a 4.5GB file).

• No installation required and no dependencies needed.

• Interoperable GUI and CLI versions.

Mac: unzip FlyingCarpetMac.zip to find an .app bundle. You'll have to right-click and select Open to run because it's not code-signed or distributed through the App Store.

Linux:

unzip FlyingCarpetLinux.zip
chmod +x ./FlyingCarpet/flyingcarpet
./FlyingCarpet/flyingcarpet

Windows: extract FlyingCarpetWindows.zip, open the resulting folder, and run flyingcarpet.exe. You may have to click More Info to get past the Windows SmartScreen filter. You may also need to disable WiFi Sense.
