dx

English | 简体中文

This is a command-line file transfer tool written in node.js.

Installation

# node version >= 20
# node-pre-gyp required
npm install --global dx

Usage

Sending Files

Using the dx send command to send files. There are several ways to specify the transfer code:

• Using the DX_CODE environment variable:

export DX_CODE=020-9255-896 && dx send /path/to/name

• Directly specifying with the --code parameter:

dx send /path/to/name --code 020-9255-896

• Not specifying a transfer code (auto-generated):

dx send /path/to/name

• If both the DX_CODE environment variable and the --code parameter are set, the --code parameter will override DX_CODE.
• If neither is set, dx will automatically generate a random transfer code.

Receiving Files

To receive files, use the dx receive command and specify the transfer code:

dx receive --code 020-9255-896

The sender uses the DX_CODE method, and the receiver can use either DX_CODE or --code to receive.

export DX_CODE=020-9255-896 && dx receive
# or
dx receive --code 020-9255-896

Notes

Dx server is only used for signaling and does not relay data. Your file data is transferred directly between the two terminals.
