I'm trying transfer files between my laptop and my remote computer back home and came across this. I know Powershell has curl, but how am I supposed to modify the install script for Powershell since it always fails because it doesn't recognize sh?
curl -fsSL https://wush.dev/install.sh | sh

you don't, what you are basically asking how to a person is supposed to understand chinese when they are only speaking english.
Curl is a third party tool and has nothing to do with powershell in general either. At some point curl was an alias for the cmdlet invoke-webrequest that works differently with different parameters etc.
bash (sh) is a different shell all together from what powershell is.
you can rewrite the script in powershell but why bother doing that when you can just run in an supported environment...?

Oh, you mean that Wush is not intended for Windows?
I thought this also, initially, but then, I saw this in the latest releases area:
wush_0.4.0_windows_amd64.zip
So, that made me think that it must be supported in Windows also.
So, I downloaded the zip and click the exe file.
Nothing happened.

I'm not saying it is not intended for Windows. I'm saying that the install.sh script is not intended for Powershell.

I don't even see a process in Task Manager or anything titled wush via get-process -name *wush*

The install.sh assumes you'll use that script on windows using mingw etc.
How the tool itself is supposed to work and how is something you'd need to consult their documentation for.
But that documentation will typically only apply if you have installed it as intended.

Ah. Hmm, never heard of mingw before.

Ok. Maybe, I will need to pass on this as an option to transfer files on Windows. The documentation is not clear. Thank you.

https://github.com/coder/wush/blob/main/install.sh
it says cygwin, msys or mingw.
Once you've installed the tool as they expect it will probably work as intended.

Oh, I was supposed to read the install.sh page?
The documentation says to read the "latest releases" for manual install, but I didn't see any instructions there.
Maybe, they were referring to the install.sh page you referenced.
noble hamlet
They assume you know that you need to use a bash shell of some sort to run the install.sh
The install script might work also under WSL.
How the tools is supposed to work and how you execute is something you'd need to ask those who know the tool.
fierce flume
Ok, thank you.

Seemed like you solved this maybe, but do you know if this is better for file transfer than LocalSend?

Wush is based on Wireguard (via Tailnet), so it's not local-only like AirDrop/LocalSend
The choice of using a bash install.sh script cracks me up though. Why is a go app using a "installer"? Turns out it's just a downloader ... except on POSIX platforms it trying to sudo setcap cap_net_admin ... so it can change the size of the UDP packets.
You definitely do not need the install.sh (especially on Windows).
For what it's worth, if you have Install-GithubRelease you can use it instead, and if you don't, you can install it with Install-Script 😉 but on Linux/MacOS, you'd want to set the permissions by hand:
Install-Script Install-GitHubRelease
Install-GitHubRelease coder wush
if ($IsLinux -or $IsMacOS) {
sudo setcap cap_net_admin=eip $((get-command wush).path)
}
Ah i guess i missed that
I love LocalSend for cross-platform "AirDrop" it's really fast and easy

For what it's worth, if you have `Install-GithubRelease` you can use it instead,...
Were you able to get Wush working on Windows?

It runs, gives help, I haven't actually used it to do anything

It runs, gives help, I haven't actually used it to _do_ anything
But you're not sure it actually works as intended?
I went with Resilio Sync in the end, but it is very slow unfortunately.

So, I downloaded the zip and click the exe file.
there's no GUI. run it from cmd line

If you have time, can you please describe (in detail) how you got it to work?
I'm not sure what I did incorrectly in the steps I listed above.
