About filecast
filecast is a cross-platform command-line tool for sending one file to multiple computers on the same local network. It uses UDP broadcast or IP multicast so a single sender can reach any number of receivers without a separate server, relay, or internet connection. Automatic retransmission helps recover packets that are dropped during transfer. The receiving side can resume an interrupted transfer, and filecast verifies each received file end to end with SHA-256. These features make it suitable for distributing the same file across a local network while checking that the result matches the original. The product’s stated design avoids sending separate copies sequentially to each host. The supplied information does not describe encryption or authentication, so those properties should not be assumed for a particular network.
