Paresh,

If the client changes its IP address the WebRTC connection will be severed. In such a case, you will need to conduct an ICE restart procedure or to connect a new peer connection.

I just wanted to know if suppose client dynamic IP change while sending data, client will receive data or not, connect still exists or lost.

You can transfer any type of data you see fit

Fixed – thanks for pointing this one out Roland

In the interest of keeping up to date, indeed it was a pain in the bu**, but not impossible now at least!

There’s quite a few WebRTC based file transfer proofs online now with reasonable cross browser support.

http://reep.io for example is an open source WebRTC based WeTransfer-like service which works really smoothly, as I understand it, if people aren’t online to receive files, it holds them in waiting to be downloaded in a Postgres Database. These eventually expire. It’s open source too ( https://github.com/KodeKraftwerk/reepio)

http://send-anywhere.com is a Korean Start-up also based on WebRTC, they also have supporting Android/IOs apps and a new chrome extension. Apple has reportedly hired an engineer recently to implement webRTC into their Safari browser, I remain hopeful!

https://seshi.io is a WebRTC based file transfer site for instant transfer between friends/devices which uses IndexedDB for local storage rather than storing any files on a server. It came out of a University research project (Disclaimer, I’m the developer of it, although ‘developer’ is pushing it!)

Philipp,

Thanks. I’ve been worried about this one, as it gets traffic on a daily basis. Care to write a guest post? I’ll forward readers of this one from the top of the page to the new one 🙂

shows the 2015 way to do it.

🙂

This looks very nice, is there also a way to playback an audio file instead of initializing download?
