Is it possible to transfer directories? #19

I know I can just zip the folder quickly then transfer it, but in some cases where the storage space is really limited for the receiver, the receiver cannot extract the received zip file due to lack of storage space.

You can use tar with streaming for this purpose: tar -cv . | QFT_STREAM=1 qft ... /dev/stdin and on the other side: qft ... /dev/stdout | tar -xv

anyway to do this in windows?

TudbuT commented 3 months ago

@altefwan tar for windows

TudbuT commented 3 months ago

im not sure about the /dev/ pipes. CON might work for both. theres also conIN$ and conOUT$. those might also work. if not, i can add a fix in qft itself.

marking this as resolved due to no answer to my suggested fix
