/sendfile

Send a file to another user through a direct peer-to-peer connection. The file transfers directly between your browsers without going through the server.

Syntax

/sendfile <nickname>

Parameters

nickname — The user to send a file to.

How It Works

Running /sendfile creates a P2P session and both users enter a lobby. The file transfer dialog opens automatically — you select a file, and the recipient gets a notification to accept or decline the transfer. Once accepted, the file is sent directly between browsers (peer-to-peer). You can see the transfer progress in the lobby window.

Rules & Limits

  • Both you and the target must be registered and identified (via /ns identify)
  • Cannot send files to yourself
  • Only one active P2P session per user pair at a time

Examples

/sendfile Mario
/sendfile Alice
