Interesting software that I haven't seen posted here yet:

From the developer on facebook:

Doing some development and cross compiling means moving files all over the place.
FTP got tiring, Samba wouldn't play nice, and shared directories aren't a thing with virtualbox and AROS.
So I made LANSend.

Includes a simple INI file to let you pick the port, target directory and file conflict resolution.
Just drag and drop a file or directory onto the host GUI and it's immediately transferred.
Binaries for Amiga and AROS for receiving files and Linux and Windows for the sender GUI.

- The 64-bit version of LANSend isn't working ‘Guru’

- I tested the 32-bit version of LANSend on VMware using port 4242, but the search runs indefinitely and nothing is found. Am I doing something wrong, or do I need to edit the .ini file?

- I’d like to point out that file sharing on AROS 32-bit and 64-bit with VMware, VirtualBox and QEMU works perfectly – you just need to use SMB2!

You can report the issue to the developer (Marcus Fernstrom) on the link I posted or on the AROS Facebook page

Don't know what to tell you AMIGASYSTEM. Did you try submitting a bug report on his development page?

Before deleting it, I think he must have read the message; if it was unwanted, there’s no point in sending it again.

The current version of Free Pascal is incapable of producing a working executable for 64-bit ABIv11 AROS. Its support is based on AROS 64-bit ABIv1 (and before the ABI break).

That's true but not everyone is able or willing to run SMB2 on their system/network.

Another possibilty for people running AROS inside a VM is to run a second VM with something like slitaz linux (it is very small and can be run headless with minimal resources) that is capable of supporting VM drivers so you can use shared folders with the host. Communication between the two VM can be internal and be about anything (serial, parallel, ftp, smb, etc).

Thus the utility from Marcus is just another means of sharing files (and a pretty convenient one when you run AROS on actual hardware).

That said, I haven't had the chance yet to test the 32-bit version yet. I'll try to do that when time permits and try to figure out what's the issue in case something is indeed wrong.

Indeed reporting directly to the repository is usually the quickest way of getting the right attention.
