It should handle multiple interfaces by a requester where you can choose one.
I haven't tested it on MOS because my machine has only one network device.

Would you send me the debug output printed after the program start until the interface names are shown in the program window?

You should check/turn on debug output in the settings menu, save settings, and restart the program to display initial debug messages.

Thanks!

Hmm, looks like another feature request.
I was thinking about it before I will came back from the distant future!

@328gts

Sorry, but currently palette screenmodes are not supported.
It could be done and I will try it later. Should note that it will still needs megabytes of memory.

The best way would be to port it to another progamming language that suits more to the mildly expanded classic amigas.
I would love to do that, but no promises. Maybe after it is finished in the current form. Far away in a distant future!

@balaton

WormHole uses the port 64738.

@Maijestro

Of course it will handle more files/drawers. These features are commented out in the script currently. I have to clean up some parts before enable them.

WormHole 0.5 . is online for testing.

Main changes:
- Computer names fade on inactive window
- Added clipboard sync option

If enabled in the menu on both sides, it can automatically sync every clipboard changes.
Manually transfers clipboard just one time with middle mouse button (missing from the readme).

Currently only text content.

Other problems still be there

@AmigaSociety

Try to change the Ambient display settings.

MorphOS Preferences / Screens / Edit Screen / Enhanced Display

Tick that item and ok, use/save...

Let me know if it helps.

OSX64 native version is fixed, tested on a Mac. Please try it if you interested. It should be executable now.

A little back story of WormHole, to give some light for what and why.

"Computing is starting with network" said one of my teacher back then. As an A500 user I hardly shared his statement at that time
He was quite right. In my defence, it was hard to see before the first public internet service.
Time has passed, so around me there is a LAN now with more and more Amigas are connected to it.

The main goal behind WormHole was to have something to quickly share files between my Amigas.
The features that all other solutions lacked:
- configless
- keep all the Amiga file attributes
- handle icons

That led me to bother with this.

And it worked for my Miggys. And even more when put WormHole to a temporary pc and drop some files to it without even log in to any network shares.
Useful to get those Amiga files which are uploaded to Amiga no-go sites.

As I am using Hollywood from ages it has had the side effect of being on many platforms.
Before it was ready, or before well-tested, I uploaded to my site to be handy. It waited there to reach a quality that might be worth sharing with others. This may never have happened.

At last, I am really glad that McFly found it and he, TJ and Maijestro took the time to make some nice video testing it. This kind interest encourages me to make it better.

Initially the speed was only a secondary option. But nobody seems to pay attention to TJ's warning about how dangerous a wormhole can be, just by dumping gigabytes large of files down it.
I checked it and found a design flaw that makes it slow with larger files.
The transfer is divided into small data packets with a header. Each packet is transmitted with an openconnection, closeconnection frame. I need to do some tweaking to avoid unnecessary open/close connections.

A nice feature should be the clipboard sharing which is suggested by PJS I think. Another one I'm thinking of is printing pdf files on a pc or mac thrown in from an Amiga.

My idea is that holding the mouse button over the window will bring up a menu to select the WormHole function. File transfer/Print/Display image/etc. Double click to share clipboard.

What do you think?

@McFly

Thanks for testing it! Changed back the speed related thing and uploaded it as 0.3.

@all

New update is online!
There are progress bars.
There is working 'Use last destination'. Together with the 'Accept all' settings, no more requester on the target side only for overwriting.

Please try and tell me how it works for you.

Unfortunately the OSX/Linux archives still as is. There is still no time to make them properly.




Downloads here.

@pjs

Thanks for your feedback!
All of them are good ideas. Working on it!

@mbrantley

The small text issue is something that I have not found any good solution yet.
I really want to keep the GUI simple and small.
The best one I can think of some simple avatars for the connected machines.
I am open for anything else.

But that is not the priority currently.

Small update.

- version is changed to 0.1
- added proper OSX icon
- OS4: hide interface with Exchange no more iconify, just hide gui
- New platforms added: OSX PPC, Linux x86
- Updated readme
- Windows firewall settings help among the screenshots at the program's site

I can confirm the problem with large files. Investigating.
I can confirm that no progress circle. It is under reworking.

Stay tuned!

And many thanks for the donations! I really appreciate it.

@AmigaSociety

My Mac is in the attic, so can't check or make a proper archive at the moment.

Quote:

The executable is this file: WormHole.app/Contents/MacOS/WormHole
You need to add an executable attribute (or whatever they call it in Apple land) to it.
IIRC it is the terminal command: chmod +x <file>
Maybe the best method is to open terminal, enter 'chmod +x ' and drop the file icon to have the correct path.
Then press enter. Done.

@AmigaSociety

I am still planning to frequently update the program in the next days/weeks, so currently the best OSX option is to handle that executable attribute manually.


In the meantime, I wonder how the program works on OSX.
Do the functions in the settings menu work?
Does overwriting the file works?
How the icon look like? Clapperboard or the swirling image?

I would appreciate an overview!

@AmigaSociety

Quote:

There is a 'File/Next hole' menu item to change remote target. It seeks the next WormHole on the network.

@Maijestro

Ahh. That's me. Fidgety and scattered

Of course 'chmod +x '

The 'x' means executable.

Unfortunately I forgot to tell that I can't create a valid app bundle on Amiga.
It needs some care.

The executable flag should be set on the binary.

Open a terminal, enter "chmod + ". (Note that there is a space at the end).

Edit: the correct command "chmod +x "

Drag and drop the WormHole file from the WormHole.app/Contents/MacOS folder to the terminal.
Press enter and go back to the app icon.
Start the program from the finder while pressing control.

After this first start, it should work normally.

When WormHole is done, I'll give you a proper package, but until then I only want to touch the Amiga

@slygon

Thanks for the feedback!
I have just fixed the OSX archive. It should contain an x64 binary, but not tested by me.

I am glad to see it is working for you all!

@AmigaSociety

Fixed the archive, please try again!

@AmigaSociety

OSX x86 native version uploaded. Maybe that will sort of the remember position problem.

WormHole

@Maijestro

That "lastdestination" error was concerned the applet only and should be fixed in the current version. (About window shows 06-Mar-25 date)
