About

iptux is an “IP Messenger” client. The features of iptux include:

  • auto-detect other clients on the intranet.
  • send/recv messages to other clients.
  • send/recv files to other clients.
  • share your files to other cliens (with optional password protection).

It is (supposedly) compatible with 飞鸽传书 (Feige) and 飞秋 (FeiQ) from China, and with the original “IP Messenger” clients from Japan, including g2ipmsg and xipmsg in Debian.
