Hey everyone, I present to you my new independent program (uses security suite APIs xD)

CCDrop is a very advanced way of copying file from computer to computer without the need of pastebin (After youve downloaded it)

Simply use this pastebin id:

pastebin get zxgX7grk CCDrop

to download the program, once downloaded run it, and it will download any extra files it needs, after that the onscreen dialogue will guide you through sending or receiving files.

UPDATE: Because I thought it would be more help to you and I to have the ability to transfer entire directories at a time, I added that feature, Now when sending simply enter a directory path and follow on screen instructions, Any directories in that one can also be transferred and so on. Overwrite protection still pops up if you are going to overwrite a current file.

UPDATE: Shell Args are now supported, simply use the following syntax:

CCDrop <Name Of File To Send>

or

CCDrop -w

to instantly start waiting

To update delete CCdrop and re download it with the paste-bin below, It uses the same ID, but there is no auto updater in CCDrop.

Features:
- Copy protection
- Fast and easy transfer
- Sexy UI (IMO)
- Client List shows all other PCs waiting for files, allows for very easy choice.
- Client confirmation
- Both sender and receiver provide up to date information on the transfer.
- Transfer directories, in directories in directories etc…
- Transfer files straight from the shell using shell arguments
- Start waiting for file without using the menu using shell arguments

Screen shots:

Warning

Spoiler

This program uses modem methods, they are broadcast to any computer listening on the correct channels, this is not hard to find and means any files broadcast could be stolen without knowing, I do not take any responsibility for confidential information or credentials that may be held within files or folders sent via CCDrop, Use of this program requires you agree to this policy.

TODO:

~~- Shell args.~~
~~- Allow transfer of entire directories.~~

Thanks, that means a alot! When I get my computer back I will add support for multiple directories (If a dir is in a dir then you can send that too)

How about encrypting the file before its sent?

There are several APIs on the CC forum

Encrypting the files seemed to take too long, a password maybe, but when testing the transfer took several minutes when transferring my security suite over… If I find a way of shortening this time, it will be added.

UPDATE: Fixed multiple directory transfer missing certain files if they were listed last or directly after a directory stored in the array.

This will allow you to transfer the contents of a folder, including its contents, whether they be more directories or just files!

Update To Come:

Known bugs:

If a directory is empty, the computer will hang and the waiting computer will never stop waiting until reboot/shutdown.
Directory selection is limited by alphanumerics.
element API is incorrectly configured.
frame buffer causes flickering while transfering files on some machines.

These bugs will be fixed soon! Along with the Security Suite update.

Looks like the bugs may hard to fix cuz ur performing good code

Could you get CCDrop to work on normal computers? Or, if it detects that it can, normal computers with gray?
I got some example code for figuring out what palate of colors you can use:


if term.isColor() then
	colorAllowed = true --You can do color
	grayAllowed = true --That includes grayscale
else
	colorAllowed = false
	if _VERSION then --_VERSION is a environment variable introduced in the latest beta of CC, which also happens to have grayscale for normal computers. If _VERSION exists, then you can bet that normal computers can handle gray.
		grayAllowed = true
	else
		grayAllowed = false
	end
end
--Done finding out what colors can be used.
--Example implementation:
if colorAllowed then
	term.setTextColor(colors.red)
else
	if grayAllowed then --If using the latest beta version of CC
		term.setTextColor(colors.lightGray)
	else --If using 1.64 or 1.73 or whatever
		term.setTextColor(colors.white)
	end
end
--Done with example implementation

It's what I use in my Map program, which would really do with more replies…grrr…

As for mouse implementation, you could have a graphical cursor (not a mouse pointer) that leaps to the closest button in the direction of the arrow key you pressed, like how you select icons in a file explorer or the Windows desktop with the arrow keys.

Not really, the colours are hard coded on purpose. Essentially, if you want the ability to transfer files using this program you need an advanced computer.

If I get enough requests to do so, then I will port the colours to a table that is swapped depending on the computer type.

I am currently remaking my security suite under a different name, keep an eye out for it.

Fixed shell arg bug, re-download from pastebin if you are experiencing issues.

CC-Drop is currently not being focused on (and hasn't been for a while), once DynaCode is ready to go the program will likely be rewritten as a HexCode program… Look forward to that I guess :D/>

i was gonna make something like this (yet i didn't) and it would have a server that would hold files and a mini table of who to send the files to. it would keep trying to connect to the receiving computers until they were on. the senders would connect to the server if its on and hold the files there. just an idea for something i never finished :P/>
