Respect for being a small, tactical, simple, no-nonsense tool for transferring a tiny file over SMB in a pinch. That said, it's useless for large files and that makes it useless to me
by Ibrahim Khatib, 2024-12-03

A nice, clean, get-the-job done app that gets a lot right but is just crying for a little developer love. Obvious needs include better network error handling, support for multiple shares on the same server, cleaner behavior when accepting a share from other apps, timestamp preservation on copy, IPv6. Running in background would be great, too; that's not a deal breaker for me, but is for many folks.
