winpinator
About winpinator
Winpinator is an unofficial Windows port of Linux Mint's Warpinator file-sharing application. It enables file transfers between Windows and Linux systems using the same gRPC protocol as Warpinator, with support for service discovery via zeroconf/mDNS.
The software handles Windows-specific filesystem requirements by emulating certain Warpinator features. It integrates with Windows Explorer through drag-and-drop support and context menu options.
Built with C++ and wxWidgets, Winpinator maintains compatibility with Warpinator's network protocols while adapting to Windows environment constraints. The project is licensed under GNU GPLv3.
