NetXfer

What is the purpose of NetXfer?

NetXfer is software designed to allow users to send files directly from their system to any other system on the internet. It provides a direct, secure, fast network connection with end to end encryption. NetXfer uses UDP sockets to get the maximum speed out of your connection, with automatic packet recovery and optional MD5 file confirmation at destination.

How does it transfer so quickly?

Most file transfers use TCP. With TCP, every packet is sent and returned to confirm it was received, which uses twice as much bandwidth, and requires new packets to wait while old packets are confirmed. NetXfer uses UDP, which just sends the packet once, not expecting any returns.

How is it secured?

The file transfer itself is encrypted within the NetXfer app sending it, and only decrypted in the receiving app. As it is never in an unencrypted state while it is on the network/internet, there is no way it can be read by anyone else, other than the intended recipient. There is also no intermediary server involved, so there is no way for a 'man in the middle' attack to be set up.

Are any external servers involved?

' below) to allow the sender and receiver systems to connect directly, and delete that text when the transfer is done. For systems on the internet or in the same network/VPN, the text can be sent via chat or any other secure means to start the transfer.

What is FlowCaster?

FlowCaster is a secure, fast, video/audio transmission system for live 'over the shoulder' and other production and broadcast audio/video workflows. Like NetXfer, FlowCaster is generally a point to point, secure transmission system for audio and video.
