Bitfountain - Communist file sharing over wifi
==============================================
Running the app (Milestone 2)
-----------------------------
The .tar.bz2 we gave you is an Eclipse project. Just import it in Eclipse
and you're good to go.
First, launch a org.bitfountain.gui.server.ServerApp
This will display a Log/Preferences window for the server.
Then, launch as many org.bitfountain.gui.client.ClientApp as you want.
Each of them will open a 'Login' window which you can use to connect
to the server you just launched.
Go in the 'Téléversement' tab and click 'Téléverser' to upload a file
to the server. When it's finished, you should see a notification
that a new file is available on the server. You can browse available
files in the 'Catalogue' tab.
From the 'Catalogue' tab, you can select a file from the list and click
on the download icon on the right of the list item to start downloading it.
Downloads are listed in the 'Téléchargements' onglet. Their progress is
shown, along with download speed, total size, etc. The buttons allow
to cancel a download, open it with the OS's application for it, or remove
it from the list.
You can of course run the server and the clients on different machine,
just change the IP in the Login box so they can all interact.
The server supports concurrent uploads and downloads from multiple
clients at once, and clients can download/upload multiple files at
the same time too! But don't take our word for it, try it for yourself!
Enjoy,
