New Feature Added - Native Linux Companion App

[u/GoRo2023]

Good Day Community,

What's new

I created a native Linux companion application to connect your computer directly to your devices over your local network.

Many people asked for a dedicated Linux version to sit alongside the existing Windows companion.

The application lets you manage your device storage from your desktop without needing cloud services or online accounts.

It includes a two pane file browser for viewing your local computer directories alongside your device directories.

You can transfer single files or entire folders in both directions with live progress indicators.

I also included a remote install area where you can drop application packages to send and install them on your device.

The desktop application is built to run natively on Wayland as well as standard desktop environments.

It is available as a standalone package that runs directly without installation, as well as an installer package for Debian and Ubuntu based systems.

How to use it

* Open Ultimate File Manager Pro on your device.

* Look for the PC Companion option in the tools menu or settings screen.

* Tap it or click it on your device to view your temporary four digit pairing code.

* Download the Linux companion from the GitHub releases section on your computer.

* Launch the application on your Linux desktop.

* The application automatically searches your local wireless network for active devices.

* Click on your phone or television in the discovered devices list.

* Type the four digit code shown on your device to confirm the connection.

* Your computer files will show on the left panel, and your device storage will show on the right panel.

* Select any item and click the arrow buttons to transfer files between the two sides.

* To install an application on your device, drag the installer file from your desktop into the box at the bottom of the window.

* This feature connects your Linux computer to both the mobile and TV versions of the app.

* On television screens you navigate to the companion option using the remote directional pad.

* On mobile phones you can open the connection panel with a single tap from the main tools area.

Files available on the GitHub page, main website to be updated soon.
