After downloading the file, extract and go inside siwi directory, before you run the program make sure that you connected to a network (no need data or internet access) and finally run the program
If you only have a PC and smartphone you can turn on the hotspot on the smartphone to connect to the PC or you can create wlan on PC and connect another device to it as well

Open and running program on your terminal
After running the program you will see siwi directory automatically created on your Documents home directory and inside that we have
public: all files that you put here will be accessible to everyoneupload: where files are uploaded by the client
When application starting you will see a message on your console INF SIWI starting on [192.168.100.10:1427] notice that the IP 192.168.100.10:1427 may be different for everyone so make sure you use the IP on your console
To upload files just open client browser and go to given IP address on the application console
When files upload the console will give you information about who is uploading, filename, time, etc
To check files that already uploaded go to your Documents home directory on siwi/upload and when you wanna share files to the client, put your files into siwi/public on the client browser instead of click UPLOAD button just click on PUBLIC button and you see all files will be shown
- When the application cannot start, check your network connection maybe you're not connected to any network
