NextDrop

NextDrop is a high-speed data pipeline capable of transferring large files efficiently, with a peak transfer rate allowing for 3GB of data to be received in under 10 seconds, making it a standout system for rapid file transfers.

Speed in Peak transfer rate (Latest): 3GB /5sec

Note

UDPDrop is In Development!!

Installation

To install NextDrop, ensure you have Python 3.7+ installed along with the required dependencies. Run the following command:

Library Version

pip install next-drop-lib

Command-Line Version Requiments (main.py)

pip install kamu-jp-modern aiohttp tqdm zstandard

GUI Version Requiments (NextDrop.py)

pip install kamu-jp-modern PyQt6 aiohttp tqdm zstandard

Usage

NextDrop operates in two modes: sending and receiving. Below are the details for each mode.

Library (Example)

import asyncio
from next_drop_lib import FileSender, FileReceiver, NextDropGeneral
import threading
import time

async def file_send_example():
    await FileSender("localhost", port=4321, file_path="./test.txt").send_file()

async def file_receive_example():
    await FileReceiver(port=4321, save_dir="./recived/").start_server()
    await asyncio.sleep(5)

def start_server():
    asyncio.run(file_receive_example())

if __name__ == '__main__':
    # Start the server in a separate thread
    threading.Thread(target=start_server).start()

    # Start the file sender
    asyncio.run(file_send_example())

CLI Sending Mode

To send a file, use the following command:

python nextdrop.py send <target_ip> --port <port> <file_path> [--threads <num_threads>]

• <target_ip>: IP address of the receiving server.
• --port <port>: Port on which the receiver is listening (default is 4321).
• <file_path>: Path to the file you want to send.
• --threads <num_threads>: Number of threads to use (default is 1).

Example

python nextdrop.py send 192.168.1.10 --port 4321 /path/to/file.zip --threads 4

CLI Receiving Mode

To start a receiver server, use the following command:

python nextdrop.py receive --port <port> <save_dir> [--compress]

• --port <port>: Port to listen on for incoming file transfers (default is 4321).
• <save_dir>: Directory where received files will be saved.

Example

python nextdrop.py receive --port 4321 /path/to/save --compress
