Been using a similar cross-platform app called Dukto. It runs on Android as well as the others, it also can send text and clipboard. Another neat feature is that the portable option can be downloaded to try without installing.

In reply to Larry Ward. @Larry Check if the port in question is being used by another service:

$ sudo netstat  -tupln | grep "40818" 
OR
$ sudo ss -tupln | grep "40818"

No output means no other service is using the port. If a service is using it either stop that service or configure Nitroshare to use another port.

I installed NitroShare through the “Software Center” on my Kubuntu laptop. When I try to start it I get a dialog box that says “unable to listen on port 40818.” What is going on?

Has anyone had a case where after installing, you cannot right click the left most pane of the file manager in Windows 10. The software worked great and was able to send files between Windows 10 and Antergos but I noticed that my right click stop working in file manager (Whenever I would right click in the left most pane, it would clock for a second and state no response on the title bar of the file manager and then completely close/crash file manager… was able to right click in the right pane but not left).

I know that this was tied to Nitroshare as it was the last app installed and once I removed NItroshare, I was able to start right clicking again in the left most pane. Added as an issue to the git page (just wanted to see if anyone else has seen this issue.
