💾 what to download?
| download link | is it good? | description |
|---|---|---|
| copyparty-sfx.py | ✅ the best 👍 | runs anywhere! only needs python |
| copyparty-en.py | ✅ also good | same but english-only, no i18n |
| a docker image | it's ok | good if you prefer docker 🐋 |
| copyparty.exe | ⚠️ acceptable | for win8 or later; built-in thumbnailer |
| u2c.exe | ⚠️ acceptable | CLI uploader as a win7+ exe (video) |
| copyparty.pyz | ⚠️ acceptable | similar to the regular sfx, mostly worse |
| copyparty-en.pyz | ⚠️ acceptable | english-only, no smb-server |
| copyparty32.exe | ⛔️ dangerous | for win7 -- never expose to the internet! |
| cpp-winpe64.exe | ⛔️ dangerous | runs on 64bit WinPE, otherwise useless |
| bootable usb | ┐(ﾟ∀ﾟ)┌ | a surprisingly useful joke (x86_64) |
