People moving documents, folders, or snippets of text between computers and phones can use Dukto for direct transfers on a local network. Choose a destination device in Dukto, then select what to send.
Device selection and transfers
Dukto shows other Dukto devices available on the local network. Select the recipient, choose files, and send them directly between devices. The same basic workflow supports sending text, so a short note or copied snippet can move alongside file transfers.
The receiving device needs Dukto installed as well. The program supports transfers among Windows and Linux computers and Android devices, which suits a mix of computers and phones on the same network.
Files and folders
Send individual files or pass along a folder as a group. Folder transfers keep related items together without first creating an archive, which is handy for sharing a collection of documents or other grouped files.
Local-network sharing
Dukto is built around nearby devices connected to the same network. It does not require an account or a shared-folder setup for the transfer workflow, making it suited to quick exchanges between devices on a home, school, or workplace network.
