Slice

A cross-platform CLI tool for transfering large files from one pc to another over slow and unstable networks by breaking the files down into very small parts.

(Some functions are still under Development!)

#Installation To install using NPM

npm i -g slice-net

Example Usage

On the PC from which you want to send the file:

slice-net -u -f YourFile.xyz

This will also show your hostname, for example 192.162.1.112.

On the PC to which your are sending:

slice-net -d -ip 192.162.1.112

If a download is discontinued it starts from the last shard it was downloading. Any missing shards are also downloaded!

To create smaller or larger shards use the -s flag:

slice-net -u -f fileName.xyz -s 2000000

This will divide the file into 2MB shards. Default is 1MB.

There will be a "sliceFiles" directory which will have all the individual shards, to delete all of these shards upon sucessful download pass "-S" flag. (Under development)

slice-net download 192.162.1.112 -S

Similarly, to avoid merging shards use "-M".

slice-net -d -ip 192.162.1.112 -M

To change the used directroy use the -D flag, for example:- (Unstable)

slice-net -d -ip 192.162.1.112 -D ./newDownloads
