What it does

Warpinator is Linux Mint's local-network file-transfer application, with official Linux installation instructions and source code.

Warpinator sends files between computers on a local network. Its official repository documents Linux Mint packages and other Linux installation routes; Windows and Android ports are listed separately as unofficial projects. Devices discover one another using a shared group code. Change the default code to a unique one to enable Secure Mode. Before that change, incoming transfers require approval, automatic start at login is disabled and the application exits after 60 minutes. That setup detail matters on a network used by other people.
