Copy a file or a folder in File Explorer. Move the pointer to the other computer. Paste in File Explorer there.
Or stay where you are: right-click, choose "Send to", then BukDesk.
Where it lands
Under Downloads on the other computer, in a folder named BukDesk, in Received 1, Received 2 and so on. BukDesk never writes over a file that is already there, and never removes anything from that folder.
What keeps it safe
- Nothing that arrives opens or runs by itself.
- Every file is marked as having come from another computer, before any of it is written. Windows warns before running it.
- Windows hands each file to its own check before the file gets its final name, and that may call your antivirus.
- Names are checked before anything is created. A name that tries to leave the folder, or that Windows would read as something else, refuses the whole transfer.
- Nothing unfinished looks finished. A transfer that stops, fails or loses its connection is removed.
Being asked
A transfer above 1 GB waits for you to accept it on the receiving computer. So does anything more, once one computer has put 10 GB on the disk in a day with nobody asked. A transfer is refused if it would leave less than 1 GB free.
On the local network only
Files never go over the internet, with Premium or without. If two computers are connected through the relay, text crosses and files do not.
Limits
- One transfer holds at most 64 GB.
- Shortcuts, and a few other kinds of file that act when a folder merely shows them, are left out.
- A person who opens what arrived, and clicks through Windows' warning, runs it.
