Sharry is a free and open-source file sharing software that you can use to share large files with your friends and colleagues. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing Sharry on Windows 11.
The first step is to download Sharry from its official Github repository. You can download the ZIP file by clicking on the "Code" button and selecting "Download ZIP" or by using the following command in your terminal if you have Git installed:
git clone https://github.com/eikek/sharry.git
Once you have downloaded the ZIP file or cloned the repository, extract the files to a location of your choice. We recommend extracting the files to the root of the C drive for easy access.
Before you can run Sharry, you need to configure it. Open the application.properties file located in the sharry-server directory using a text editor.
Here, you can configure the default username and password for the admin user, the port number to use, and other settings according to your preferences.
To run Sharry, open a command prompt in the sharry-server directory and run the following command:
./sharry-server.bat
This will start Sharry on the default port (8080). You can access the Sharry web interface in your web browser by navigating to http://localhost:8080.
After you have successfully installed and run Sharry, you can start using it to share files with others. You can add users, create rooms, and share files from the Sharry web interface.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Sharry on Windows 11. With Sharry, you can securely share large files with others, making it a great tool for collaboration and file sharing.
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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
