Giver –仍然是跨网络发送文件的最佳方法[Linux]

Giver早在2009年初就已进行过审查，但仍属于一流计划的清单。考虑到最新版本是2007年发布的，这甚至更令人惊讶。尽管程序本身并没有改变，但是发行版本身已经发生了巨大变化，但是程序仍然可以正常工作。

Giver does file sharing a little differently. Instead of sharing a folder to the network, you can simply choose a file or folder to send to a certain computer. In other words, this is a one-time transaction, like sending an email with an attachment.  That’s all Giver does while barely having any options to configure in order to keep the experience as simple and flawless as possible.

安装

以我自己的经验，所有发行版都简单地将包命名为“给予者"，但是如果您使用的发行版用户群较小，则可能需要仔细检查。

过程

一旦您要在两台计算机上安装了Giver，就想在该计算机之间来回发送文件，请在每台计算机上打开Giver。它神奇地检测在您自己的计算机和网络上任何其他计算机上运行的Giver实例。从那里，您可以单击鼠标左键，选择所需的选项，然后选择要发送的文件/文件夹，也可以将文件或文件夹拖放到列表中的计算机上以进行相同的操作。

然后，将在接收文件或文件夹的计算机上显示一条通知，您必须在其中单击“接受"以开始该过程。它应该相对较快地运行（毕竟它正在使用您的完整LAN或WiFi速度），并将被存储在您设置的任何文件夹中。

选项

Speaking of options, I’m going to mention them really quick. Like I said, there aren’t very many at all, as you can probably determine from the screenshot. Again, this was meant for easy and flawless operation with no configuration needed out-of-the-box. There are only three possible things you can configure. You can change your name if you would like (which it originally takes from whatever you have set for your system account for “Full Name”), what kind of icon appears whenever people see your computer on their list, and where to save files that were given to you.

注意事项< /

考虑到GNOME 3的到来，Linux发行版已经发生了很大变化，这要归功于您的系统防火墙，即使您的计算机出现在其他人的列表上，也无法通过。

Normally, setting a port exception would do the trick (the list even says what port it’s using!), but because Giver randomizes the port each time you start it up, that may not be a viable solution for you. I would think that the developers were fine with it being this way because it is meant to be used over a network anyway, which should be appropriately configured and protected. Therefore, for easy operation you should disable your firewall, but to protect yourself, make sure that your network has a firewall itself and that it works well.

另外，如果您在移动计算机上使用此工具，我强烈建议您在离开受保护的网络之前立即再次打开防火墙。 Linux可能不受任何病毒的影响（至少没有什么共同之处），但是仍然有可能遭到黑客的直接攻击。

结论

对于网络而言，吉维几乎是必须，尤其是在工作场所等较大的环境中。尽管年代久远，它还是非常稳定并且可以正常工作。也许有一天某个小组可以回来，通过添加新功能（例如对GTK3的支持）来进一步增强Giver。但是，只要运行，一切都会井然有序。

您多久共享一次文件和文件夹？您是否经常发现自己仅对某些单个文件执行此操作？您会使用Giver吗，您将如何改进它？在评论中让我们知道！
