WormHole: great tool to easily transfer files via LAN

Did anybody yet manage to get it working between Windows Host and QEmu AOS4 Peg2 emulation? Started it on both ends, accepted the firewall changes on Win11 side and also checked the debug output.

Could not find any problems but Wormhole does not connect to each other. (On Win side IIRC it always shows connected to 127.0.0.1
disconnected from 127.0.0.1 and repeats this endlessly.

Tested under Qemu AmigaOneXE and for me Wormhole works perfectly. however I run Qemu as Sudo under MacOs maybe that makes the difference.

I also use “vmnet-bridged” for the internet connection.

It's great that Wormhole also receives this support.

Yes I managed to get this working. I use a tap network connection
for qemu, and give AOS a static ip address in the same range as Windows.
Works like a charm. EDIT:It should also work with DHCP.Although it takes a long time for OS4 to find the DHCP settings.
EDIT2: with tap network connection, the speed under OS4 is very slow. I get about 700K/s to 1MB/s with my 1 Gbps connection. Previously mentioned 16K/s is on my Mister.
So for large files it's better to use an usb-stick.

I don't know what ports WormHole needs but for QEMU network configuration docs see the FAQ on my qmiga.codeberg.page The QEMU doc linked from these shows how the user/slirp network works. It's behind it's own NAT so if you want to allow connection to the guest you need hostfwd option to open the port similar how you have to allow incoming connections on your router. Think of the user/slirp network as a LAN behind a router doing NAT.

Did some google search but it seems this is a MacOS related parameter? As for bridging on Win11 I did not yet find an "easy" to understand way to get it done.

Thank you. Seems there is something for Win2000/XP for which OpenVPN is needed (for Using TAP network interfaces). Guess I will then stick to the USB solution + FTP. Or did I got something wrong here?

@balaton

WormHole uses the port 64738.

Hi Lazi,

Thanks for posting another version of Wormhole!

I installed it on my Amigas and it worked great. Auto accept is
working great. Clipboard syncing is a nice add! The progress
indicator is working.

I'll be curious to see how things work with foreign systems, if I can
ever get them to work. Still stuck on loonix x86 and osx PPC.

In both cases I decompressed the archives, I see the program file, it's
recognized as an application, but nothing will get it to actually,
recognizably run.

On linux in properties it says "executable (application/x-executable",
permissions are set to read+write and it shows it's an allowed executable.
I tried double-clicking & using the pop-up menu "run" in the GUI and
I tried running it in the shell (with "." & "./" prepended). I also
ran "chmod +x ", that didnt complain, but that made no
difference.

On the 10.4 mac, it's also recognized as a "application (PowerPC)",
I set all the persmissions to read+write, tried to double-click, "open"
and run it from the dock. In their shell I also tried all the path
possibilities, chmod'd, etc. Either it can't find it or (with "./")
it just says it's a directory (not an app).

There's probably some foreign magic I haven't been let in on.
Any clues?

Thanks again,

PJS
