Doesn't work with enabled firewall an MacOS #178

Hi, I would like try out NitroShare on MacOS High Sierra (btw. you call it OS X on your page but this name is gone since years) Although NitroShare is configured in the MacOS Firewall as accepting incoming network connections a file transfer from another Mac will only work if I shutdown the firewall on the target Mac. Strange isn't it?

Also I'm missing a configurable recipient list for NitroShare Clients which are able to access but invisible since they stay in another network zone with out any chance of multizone broadcast.

I have updated the desc of NitroShare Github but Nathan probably forgot to update the website as well. Hmm, strange. There's probably a conflict but will look into it.

The website has been updated.

I'll leave this issue open until the firewall issue is resolved.

As of commit 50c783f, there is now a plugin that allows IP addresses for devices to be input manually (via the appropriate tab in settings):

I've installed Nitroshare on a Dell laptop running Linuxmint ?Sonya? . (I don't know how to bring up the version info on Linux); and on a Macbook running OS 10.11.6 El Capitan. Both on the same wifi router but Select Device window has nothing in it on either machine. Firewall is off on the Mac, I don't know if there is a firewall on the Linux machine and I don't know how to find out. I hope someone might be able to help. I've been using Mac for years but the Linux was set up as a temporary machine for a couple of weeks when my Macbook HD died and I find Linux really hard to navigate. Now I need to get some quite big files off the Linux, (jpgs , documents and media files). Tried putting the files on a USB stick but the Mac doesn't see them on there. Don't know why, I guess the Linux machine packages them some way that Mac doesn't like? I hope someone can suggest how I can get the files off, either with Nitroshare, a USB stick, a direct cable link - anything that might work. Please excuse my lack of technical knowledge. Thanks.

Hiya, I run Nitroshare on macOS Mojave and have to turn off firewall to transfer files, even when Nitroshare is set to accept incoming connections in the firewall preference pane. In macOS there is no tab for fixed IP entry, at least I could not find it?? Thanks for this app, it works great in all my Macs.

/Applications/nitroshare.app: code object is not signed at all 没有签名 所以没办法允许传入连接

This seems to be an old issue but I'm affected by it too. I can send files but not receive them on macOS unless I turn off the firewall.

Adding my experience on Apple M1 macOS 15.0.1.

I was sending a file from a Windows PC to a Mac. In the beginning, the PC was reporting "Unable to write." From the Mac side, I didn't see any error or notification.

Then, I added NitroShare to the Firewall whiltelist and set "Allow incoming connections." This time when the PC tried to send the file, an item appeared in Mac's NitroShare Transfers list named "[Unknown]" and with the Status "Failed: Socket is not connected." The PC reported the error as "Remote host closed the connection."

As many has stated above, it works perfectly when the Firewall is off.

Great app. It makes my life easier. Thanks you!
