Dukto - SOLVED

[kevtardis]

Not sure if this is in the right place, but I just upgraded to MX-23 from MX-19.4. Dukto was in the repositories then, but is not now.

Searched all over the internet and in the forum posts, and can't seem to find Dukto R6 for Linux that I can download.

Notwithstanding that the package is no longer under development/maintenance, its still a good tool for file and text transfer on a network. Would it be possible to add Dukto R6?

Thanks.

If you do manage to get 2011-ish Dukto installed the MX 23 Firewall will need a tweak:

"...allow port 4644 incoming from the local network ..."

The developer of Dukto R6 has a public facing statement about future use:

UPDATE: this project is no longer maintained. You can download it and use it if it works on your devices, but I can’t provide any update and support anymore. I won’t provide also any security or bugfix update.

Time to find an alternative .... Samba shares, NFS, a local NAS or file server...

Here are MX 23 rebuilds, on the way to the main repo. I can't test them myself.

Thanks Steve!

After looking at the zip file, I think it best if I wait until it hits the main repos. But I can't wait.

I know its old and not supported any more, but it still works fine and there are very few programs that can do file transfer + chat features this easily.

Thanks to FullScale4Me for the note about the firewall changes - I've had to do this once before...

Will mark as solved. Thanks again.

Just for the record, there is "ndrop" — a Python-based CLI and GUI app, compatible with Dukto and Nitro Share.
