About

filecast is a cross-platform command-line tool that sends a single file to

every host on the same LAN at once, using UDP broadcast or IP multicast, with

automatic retransmission of dropped packets. One sender reaches any number of

receivers in the time of a single transfer. It verifies each file end-to-end

with SHA-256, resumes interrupted receives, and needs no server, relay, or

internet connection.

Security

No known CVEs for filecast.

Coverage is best-effort and depends on a winget package mapping to an NVD CPE entry. Absence here is not a guarantee of safety.
