Notably, the Linux Mint team is also developing a new program, called Warpinator, that allows you to share files over your local network. In the past, Linux Mint 6 once owned a tool called Giver, which performs the same function. However, Giver is a third-party program, so when it was terminated, Linux Mint also lost the local file sharing feature. The addition of a new file sharing tool is really necessary with Linux Mint at this time. If released, Warpinator will be able to work on all Linux systems, but it is unclear whether it is compatible with similar software on Windows or Mac.
