Launch one device as a server and another as a client — they discover each other automatically.\n\n[![Jet File Transfer](https://img.youtube.com/vi/g4C_jfIkYe4/0.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4C_jfIkYe4)\n\n## Download\n\nPre-built packages are published on [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/erdemkosk/jet-file-transfer/releases):\n\n| Platform | File |\n|----------|------|\n| macOS (Apple Silicon) | `JetFileTransfer-macos-aarch64.dmg` |\n| macOS (Intel) | `JetFileTransfer-macos-x64.dmg` |\n| Windows | `JetFileTransfer-windows-x64.zip` |\n| Linux | `JetFileTransfer-linux-x64.tar.gz` |\n\nRelease builds include a bundled Java runtime — **you do not need to install Java** to run the desktop app.\n\n---\n\n## macOS installation\n\n1. Download the DMG for your Mac from GitHub Releases:\n   - Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3): `JetFileTransfer-macos-aarch64.dmg`\n   - Intel Mac: `JetFileTransfer-macos-x64.dmg`\n2. Open the DMG and drag **Jet File Transfer** into **Applications**.\n3. Run the commands below before the first launch.\n\n### Why do I need to run a terminal command?\n\nmacOS **Gatekeeper** blocks apps downloaded from the internet when they are not signed and notarized by Apple. Our open-source builds are ad-hoc signed, so macOS may show:\n\n\u003e *\"Apple cannot verify that JetFileTransfer is free of malware\"*\n\nThis does **not** mean the app is malicious. It only means Apple has not reviewed the build. Removing the quarantine flag tells macOS you trust this download:\n\n```bash\nxattr -cr /Applications/JetFileTransfer.app\nopen /Applications/JetFileTransfer.app\n```\n\n**Alternative (no terminal):** try opening the app once, then go to **System Settings → Privacy \u0026 Security** and click **Open Anyway**.\n\n\u003e A fully signed and notarized build (no warning, no extra steps) requires an Apple Developer account. That may be added in a future release.\n\n---\n\n## Windows installation\n\n1. Download `JetFileTransfer-windows-x64.zip`.\n2. Extract the archive.\n3. Run `JetFileTransfer/JetFileTransfer.exe`.\n\nIf SmartScreen shows a warning, click **More info → Run anyway** — the app is unsigned, which is common for open-source releases.\n\n---\n\n## Linux installation\n\n1. Download `JetFileTransfer-linux-x64.tar.gz`.\n2. Extract the archive:\n\n```bash\ntar -xzf JetFileTransfer-linux-x64.tar.gz\n```\n\n3. Run the launcher:\n\n```bash\n./JetFileTransfer/bin/JetFileTransfer\n```\n\n---\n\n## Requirements\n\n### End users (release builds)\n\n| | |\n|---|---|\n| **Java** | Not required — bundled in the release package |\n| **Network** | Local network (Wi‑Fi / LAN). Internet is not used for file transfer |\n| **macOS** | Apple Silicon or Intel (download matching DMG). See [macOS installation](#macos-installation) above |\n| **Windows** | 64-bit Windows 10 or later |\n| **Linux** | 64-bit Linux with glibc (most modern distros) |\n\n### Developers (building from source)\n\n| | |\n|---|---|\n| **Java** | **JDK 17** or later |\n| **OpenJFX** | **17.0.12** (pulled automatically via Maven) |\n| **Maven** | 3.6+ |\n| **Python** | 3 + Pillow (optional, only to regenerate app icons) |\n\nSince JDK 11, JavaFX is no longer bundled with the JDK. This project uses [OpenJFX](https://openjfx.io/) as a Maven dependency, so you do not need a separate JavaFX SDK install for development.\n\n### Run from source\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/erdemkosk/jet-file-transfer.git\ncd jet-file-transfer\nmvn clean javafx:run\n```\n\n### Build a local package\n\n```bash\nmvn clean package -Djavafx.platform=mac-aarch64   # macOS Apple Silicon\nmvn clean package -Djavafx.platform=win           # Windows\nmvn clean package -Djavafx.platform=linux         # Linux\n```\n\nPlatform packages are created with `jpackage` in CI. See [`.github/workflows/release.yml`](.github/workflows/release.yml) for the full pipeline.\n\n---\n\n## Tech stack\n\n- **Java 17** + **OpenJFX 17**\n- **JFoenix** — Material Design UI components\n- **Gson** — settings / JSON\n- **TCP/IP** — file transfer\n- **UDP** — device discovery on the local network\n\n---\n\n## FAQ\n\n| Question | Answer |\n|----------|--------|\n| Which file types are supported? | All file types |\n| Does it use the internet? | No. A local network connection is required, but traffic stays on your LAN |\n| Which platforms are supported? | macOS, Windows, Linux (desktop), and [Android on Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jetfiletransfer.mek.jetfiletransfer) |\n\n---\n\n## License\n\nApache 2.0\n\n## Links\n\n- [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/erdemkosk/jet-file-transfer/releases)\n- [Google Play (Android)](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jetfiletransfer.mek.jetfiletransfer)\n- [Legacy desktop downloads (SourceForge)](https://sourceforge.net/projects/jet-file-transfer/)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ferdemkosk%2Fjet-file-transfer","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ferdemkosk%2Fjet-file-transfer","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ferdemkosk%2Fjet-file-transfer/lists"}
