SockeToome

SockeToome is an application to send files to other users, directly, person-to-person. It involves no central server, and can be used by people with both static and dynamic IP addresses. It works at the sender's convenience, queueing files for transmission to other users, and holding them in a queue until successfully sent. If you regularly exchange files with other people, SockeToome can simplify your life.

SockeToome:

• both retries and resumes transfers
• transmits directly between the sender's and receiver's computers
• involves no central server, preserving your privacy
• works at the sender's convenience as well as at the receiver's
• works between Macs and PCs
• can handle up to four outgoing and three incoming transmissions simultaneously
• is very simple to set up and run
• is particularly suitable where two parties regularly exchange files
• works with both static and dynamic IP addresses
• utilises a priority-based queueing system
• allows messages to be sent with files
• features comprehensive logging
• can be run unattended
• features many queue management facilities
• can be used to back up critical files to a friend's computer

No longer is it necessary:

• to upload to a server for subsequent download, or
• to run a server and notify people when the server is online, or
• to entrust your files to email, or
• for both parties to be at their computers at the same time

Just pop your files into the send queue, and leave SockeToome running. When the other person comes online, SockeToome will transmit the files.

SockeToome is available for the Mac and for the PC. It is shareware, priced at $20 for a single user license. An introductory special Correspondent offer buys two licenses for $26, allowing you to set up a friend with SockeToome at a substantial discount.

A Note About IP Addresses

If you have a normal internet connection, please ignore the following.

If your computer is not directly connected to the internet, but runs on your own local network and is assigned an internal IP address in the 192.168.n.n range, your computer is not addressable from outside of your local network, and thus cannot receive incoming connection requests. This is normally not an issue with email and browsing, because there the connection requests originate on your machine and are thus outgoing. Since SockeToome is both a client and a server, it needs to be able to accept incoming connection requests to receive a file. You need to ensure that your setup allows this.
