Transfer files between Computers on LAN using IP Messenger
File Sharing in Windows is not a easy task, the normal way to transfer file or folder from one computer to another in windows is by making the file/folder shared by right-clicking it and granting permissions and so on. This method of sharing is quite tedious and somewhat difficult for novice users. To overcome this problem there is a small utility/software known as IP Messenger which makes it easy to transfer files between two computers.
IP Messenger is a pop up style LAN message communication software for multi platforms. It is based on TCP and UDP/IP. The most remarkable feature of this software is that it does not require server machine. You can transfer multiple files or folders with IP Messenger. It is a freeware, simple to use and very lightweight. IPMsg software was developed maily for Windows but now it is available for MacOSX, iPhone, Java, X11/GTK/GNOME and all sources supplied with protocol. IP messenger is also available for Android.
How to transfer a file or folder using IP messenger
- Install the IP messenger on all the shared computers and launch utility by double clicking it.
- Now drag and drop the files to the IP messenger window from which you to send the data to the other computer.
3. Select the computer name to which the data is to be send and click the send button.
4. The receiving computer will get the notification and then you have to save the file on your hard drive.
So by using ip messenger you can easily transfer files from one computer to another.

When i trying to transfer using ipmsg max 10 MB files from my network any system into one particular system it succeed but when i go for more than 50MB it will start transfer but transfer speed reduced from 10Mbps to 2 mbps then suspended. i have checked
1.windows firewall disabled.
2. K7 antivirus disabled.
3. ip not conflict.
please help me.
You must be transferring number of files that are smaller in size. If you transfer a single file of 50 MB or more than the speed will be the same as 10 Mbps or so.
if i transfer max 50MB file speed will be 10Mbps then oscillate to 10 to 7 Mbps, transfer success but transfer suspend when i go for 100MB file.
i checked no limit in my ipmsg settings and also uninstalled then reinstalled new ipmsg setup.
Strange as the IP messenger has no limits on file size. I can transfer file size of more than 1 GB without any issues.
I am using this ip msg more than 20 systems but I am facing this problem only that particular system.
may be issue with that particular system which can be with OS or LAN card.

Hi Akshat Verma
already uninstall and install latest version of IP messnager but still issue persists.
Hi, I managed to successfully use IP Messenger between two PC’s both with Windows installed.
One of the two PC’s has also double booting with Ubuntu 18.04 .
Is there any way to install and use IP Messenger also in the Ubuntu OS … ????
Thanks …!!!
I don’t think it can be used on Ubuntu.
