file2ip - v1.0
--------------

file2ip is a program to send files through the internet (or local net) to
another pc. all you need is the ip or domain name of the destination pc and
there also a running file2ip program to receive your files.

you can enter up to 50 destination pc's in your config file. a right click on
the file2ip window let you select to which pc you send the files.

to send one or more files, drag and drop them into the file2ip window.
the transfer itself is crypted - with a unique key for each file.

all received files are automatically stored in one directory, existing files
are overwritten. if a transfer is aborted or failed, the inclomplete file is
removed. file2ip never resumes a transfer, files are always overwritten and
all saved files were received completely withour errors.

during a send process, you can receive error messages if something went
wrong; receiving a file never generates messages or waits for user input.

if you want to abort a send or receive which is in progress, right click on
the file2ip window and select one of the functions 'abort send' or 'abort
receive'. this will immediately stop all sends or receives in progress. if a
sender has selected to send you more files, the transfer continue with the
next file in the send queue.

during a send, the files are opened as read-only; so you can send one file to
multiple receipients.

if you are using a firewall, you need to open the receive port and all
outgoing send ports you are using. file2ip is using the tcp protocol.

to setup file2ip edit your file2ip.cfg, it's a plain textfile.
