This article will explain in detail how to use Dukto in linux. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you as a reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

Dukto is a free open source file transfer utility that can be used to transfer files over a local area network. With it, we can transfer files from any system or device to another system more easily. All you have to do is launch the Dukto utility on both the local system and the target system, just drag and drop the files / folders you want to transfer on the Dukto window, and these files / folders will be transferred to the target system. There is no need for configuration at all, and there is no need to worry about users, permissions, file size or type, operating system, protocols, clients, and servers. This utility is completely easy to use. doesn't it sound cool? But another noteworthy advantage is that it is also cross-platform. Yes, it should work on almost all operating systems and devices, including Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, Meego, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phones and Symbian (for Nokia touch phones). It is issued under the GPL license.

Installation

Install Dukto in Ubuntu and derivative versions:

In LUbuntu 14.04 LTS (not sure about Ubuntu 14.04 LTS), Dukto is in the default software library. So to install it, just run:

Sudo apt-get install dukto does the following on other Ubuntu derivatives.

If it is xUbuntu 15.04 (also available on Ubuntu 15.04), run the following command:

Sudo sh-c "echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/colomboem/xU buntu_15.04/ /' > > / etc/apt/sources.list.d/dukto.list" sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install dukto

You can add the library key to apt. To add a key, run:

Wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:colomboem/xUbuntu_15.04/Release.key sudo apt-key add-

< Release.key如果是xUbuntu 14.10，运行下列命令： sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/colomboem/xU buntu_14.10/ /' >

> / etc/apt/sources.list.d/dukto.list "sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install dukto

To add a key, run the command:

Wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:colomboem/xUbuntu_14.10/Release.key sudo apt-key add-

< Release.key如果是xUbuntu 14.04，运行下列命令： sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/colomboem/xU buntu_14.04/ /' >

> / etc/apt/sources.list.d/dukto.list "sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install dukto

To add a key, run the command:

Wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:colomboem/xUbuntu_14.04/Release.key sudo apt-key add-

< Release.key如果是xUbuntu 12.04，运行下列命令： sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/colomboem/xU buntu_12.04/ /' >

> / etc/apt/sources.list.d/dukto.list "sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install dukto

To add a key, run the command:

Wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:colomboem/xUbuntu_12.04/Release.key sudo apt-key add-

< Release.key将Dukto安装在CentOS中： 如果是CentOS 7，以根用户身份运行下列命令： cd /etc/yum.repos.d/ wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:colomboem/CentOS_7/home:colomboem.repo yum install dukto 将Dukto安装在Fedora中： 如果是Fedora 21，以根用户身份运行下列命令： cd /etc/yum.repos.d/ wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:colomboem/Fedora_21/home:colomboem.repo yum install dukto 如果是Fedora 20，以根用户身份运行下列命令： cd /etc/yum.repos.d/ wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:colomboem/Fedora_20/home:colomboem.repo yum install dukto将Dukto安装在RHEL中： 如果是 RHEL 7，以根用户身份运行下列命令： cd /etc/yum.repos.d/ wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:colomboem/RHEL_7/home:colomboem.repo yum install dukto 用法 出于本教程的需要，我将使用两个Ubuntu桌面： 1. Lubuntu 14.04 LTS桌面（源系统）； 2. Ubuntu 15.04 LXDE桌面（目标系统）。 如上所述，你必须将Dukto安装在源系统上和目标系统上。 安装完毕后，从两个系统上的菜单或Dash来启动它。 或者只要从终端输入：duckto。 接受许可证协议。

The default interface for Dukto looks like this:

Dukto automatically searches for and displays other devices or systems on the network that have b Duto installed. As you can see from the screenshot below, Sk at ubuntudesktop is my target system.

Just click on your target system to transfer the file. You can send some text, files or folders. Refer to the screenshot below.

We might as well send a sample file. To do this, click the "Send some files" tab. Select some of the files you want to send. After sending the file, you will see the following confirmation message.

In addition, you just drag and drop the files or folders you want to send to the target system in the Dukto window.

Now, check on the target system. You will see that it has successfully received the files transferred from the source system.

As you can see in the screenshot above, I have successfully sent two files from the source system (Lubuntu 14.04) to the Ubuntu 15.04 (target) system.

You can find files that have been successfully transferred in the home directory (such as / home/sk/ in this article).

Similarly, you can send the text or folder shown above.

We might as well send a sample text. To do this, click the target computer and click the "Send some text" button.

Enter the text and click Send.

Now, go to the target system and see if it has received the text.

Cool. I see that the text sent from my source system has been received on the destination computer. Isn't it easy? That's right, you don't have to do any extra configuration. Just run the Dukto application on both systems and you can start transferring your files / folders / text.

If you want to change the storage location, click the gear button in the main interface.

Click the Change folder button and select a different location.

Delete Dukto

To delete Dukto, simply run the following command in the Ubuntu and derivative versions.

Sudo apt-get remove dukto in CentOS/Fedora/RHEL, run the command:

That's what sudo yum remove dukto does.

Concluding remarks

I have to admit, I thought it was excellent when using Dukto. It's so easy to install, configure, and use. You don't have to be a system administrator or an ashes-level computer user. Even rookie users can easily install and use the app in just a few minutes. Because it is cross-platform and portable, you can use the app on almost all desktops, laptops, and mobile devices, even on servers. The only drawback is that it doesn't have any security mechanism at the moment. So I suggest you use it in your own trusted network. Besides, I didn't find any problems in the process of testing it on my own LAN. Just give it a try and you'll never want to use another utility to transfer files over the local area network.
