Got my first laptop in August 2025. Started learning to code from zero. I was constantly transferring files between my laptop, 3 phones, and 2 VMs for testing. USB cables were slow, wore out my ports, and annoyed me. SSH was faster but writing the full command every time was painful. So I built Linkx to automate it.<br> What it does<br> — Auto-discovers SSH devices on your network<br> — Transfers files between Linux, Android/Termux, Windows<br> — Saves paired devices so one keystroke sends files<br> — Works completely offline, no cloud, no accounts<br> Screenshot - <br> <a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fd8spyxihttaw7uo3z0cq.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fd8spyxihttaw7uo3z0cq.png" alt=" " width="800" height="627"></a><br> GitHub<br> <a href="https://github.com/Arch-Kiran/Linkx" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/Arch-Kiran/Linkx</a><br> Looking for<br> Anyone on Termux or Linux who wants to try it and tell me what breaks.</p> python opensource linux termux
