Filite is a file transfer software developed for Linux and other Unix-like systems. It allows users to transfer files between different devices quickly and securely. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Filite on NetBSD using the source code from GitHub.
Before installing Filite, make sure that the following prerequisites are met:
The first step is to install the dependencies required by Filite. Run the following command in your terminal:
sudo pkgin install libevent2
This will install the libevent2 library, which is needed by Filite to function properly.
Next, we need to download the Filite source code from GitHub.
git clone https://github.com/raftario/filite.git
This will download the Filite source code to your system.
Once the Filite source code has been downloaded, navigate to its directory and run the following commands to build it:
cd filite
make
sudo make install
This will compile the Filite source code and install it on your system.
After installation is complete, we can test whether Filite has been installed correctly by running the "filite" command.
filite --help
This will display the help menu for Filite.
That's it! You have successfully installed Filite on your NetBSD system. Now you can use Filite to transfer files between different devices easily and securely.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
