Dash 2.0 - your files are just asking for it!
What's a "Dash" , brah? :
Dash is a C#.NET bassed UDP / TCP data transfer framework . Its main use right now is to power the currently available 2 twin wi-fi file transfer apps , DashWin and DashDroid .
Long story short - cross-platform wi-fi file transfer .
Dash is just a buzz-word I've come up with , but it basically defines the framework that's making both DashDroid and DashWin work . Dash consists of a variety of network protocols used together in such a way that it could deliver fast , reliable , cross-platform file transfers .
You will often see the expressions "Dash this file" or "Incoming / Receiving / Sending Dash" instead of "Send this file!" or "Incoming / Receiving / Sending file" , because the app is transferring not only the raw file data itself , but also the file information (such as name , size etc)
A dash is a collection of the file info data as well as the file data itself . This "dash" can be called an incapsulation of the file , that can only be understood and handled by the Dash framework .

Current and future plans :
☺Password-protected clients - 90% done
☺Speed improvements & bugfixes
☺Community suggestions - What do YOU want the app to do ? Please let me know!
What's the price?
The Dash framework is completely free and open-source . However , its implementations on speciffic platforms aren't necessarely the same - it's all up to the developer .
Both DashWin and DashDroid will remain free as long as I will be maintaining & updating them .
What about other platforms ? WP , iOS , Linux , Mac etc
I barely have time to keep the core framework and DashDroid & DashWin updated these days , so I cannot start another full-on project . But hey , the framework is open-source , you can do it yourself! I can't code it myself but I can give as much help as needed to porting enthusiasts .[/B]
OMG THERE ARE LIKE SO MANY BUGS , NOT STABLE ENOUGH , CRASHES ETC , Y U NO FIX THEM ?
Please bear with me . I've started this as a summer vacation project , but I am still a high-school student , and this year's schedule prooved to be one of the most hectic ones I've had in my entire life . I've barely got like 12h a week max to work on it . Development is going REALLY slow , yet I have SO MANY ideas I want to set in motion right now , but unfortunately I can't . That's another reason why I've opensourced it . If anyone wants to help me work on it , feel free to let me know! You can at least report the bugs you come across in this thread . But if you're just complaining and waiting for candy to fall from the sky , bad luck . I'm not getting paid in any way to do this , nor do I even ask for it right now . It's just a thing I want to do , but the pace I'm working at might not be so pleasant to everyone .

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q : DashWin keeps crashing when starting or when I choose "Dash this!" , or if I choose "Dash this" the popup doesn't appear! What should I do ?
A : Make sure the exe is set to run as administrator . Right click on the shortcut - Properties - Advanced / Compatibility tab - check "Run as Administrator" - OK .
Or just disable User Account Control (UAC) , that's probably the reason this is happening .
Q : The "Dash this!" option appears twice in my Windows right-click context menu - how to fix it ?
A : Download and run this . Or use the "Disable context menu option" feature from DashWin 1.2.1 or lower .
Q : DashDroid is frozen / won't open anymore / I can't seem to get rid of some stuck notification from it .
A : Force-close it .
Q : I would like to translate DashDroid into another language that is / is not on your list , can I ?
A : Sure , PM me and let me know .

@ everyone :
I am looking for people who can help me translate DashDroid into different languages .
Those who are interested must both speak one of these languages at an advanced level , and also have basic Computer Science knowledge (so that you have a better interpretation of the stuff you'll be translating) .
I will be providing the XML with all the values needed to be translated . You just have to re-write the translation . No programming skills are needed .
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I am looking not for one-time translations , but for translation maintainers .
A translation maintainer's job is to keep his / her translation up to date after every new app update that might require changes . You will be automatically notified via e-mail when your help is needed . Only the first translation from scratch will take time though , the updates will only consist of few new lines and / or tweaks that can be dealt with in roughly 5-10 minutes , as the app isn't really all that text-heavy .
You are free to leave your maintainer post anytime , but please let me know . Also , if you present no activity for 72h after the last update , you will be demoted . You will still remain in the credits in either cases though , in the "Past Translators" section .
There will be no payment for this . I am not looking to hire anyone , as it's not something very hard to do , considering there are only about 50 lines tops to be translated (right now anyway) . You WILL be , however , mentioned in the credits in the Play Store app description & this XDA thread .
If you think you can help out with this , please let me know by posting here or via PM .
Huge thanks to everyone who helped / helps / will help me with the translations!
Keep awesome .

I can help with Dutch.
Link to app translators is in my sig, ...

Thanks alot!
I have updated the 3rd post and also attached the file to be translated .
// 7th Sep. 2013 update : Updated the 3rd post again , please read it to see the actual changes .

I'll look into it . If it was a PC -> Device transfer , it was most likely a DashWin bug .
This week I'm concentrating on fixing and updating DashWin , since DashDroid right now is pretty stable .
I'm also planning to implement an auto-update function so that you won't have to go to my Dropbox and manually download the new version every time

Actually , it's on a JB hTC running a Sense 4 ROM . I will update the screenshots when I'll release the next version .

Correct . That explains the screenshots in the How-To if that's what you were reffering to . I'll be updating them as well .
downloading now...will surely test and report..
Nice App
Its really cool app. Can you add authentication like AirDroid
I will be adding device naming functionality instead of showing the IP . After that , I might add something like a white / black list .
As far as security is concerned for the momment , however , just make sure "Auto-Approve" is unchecked and you will be asked every time before saving any dash .
// Actually , now that I think about it , password-protecting clients seems to be an awesome idea! Totally on my to-do list!

DashDroid BETA - your files are just asking for it!
♦ DESCRIPTION :
DashDroid is a quick and easy-to-use solution to wirelessly transfer files between your Android and Windows devices . It uses an innovative network data transfer framework exclusively designed to make the app fast and reliable .
So what's a "Dash" ?
Dash is just a buzz-word I've come up with , but it basically defines the framework that's making both DashDroid and DashWin work . Dash consists of a variety of network protocols used together in such a way that it could deliver fast , reliable , cross-platform file transfers .
You will often see the expressions "Dash this file" or "Incoming / Receiving / Sending Dash" instead of "Send this file!" or "Incoming / Receiving / Sending file" , because the app is transferring not only the raw file data itself , but also the file information (such as name , size etc)
A dash is a collection of the file info data as well as the file data itself . This "dash" can be called an incapsulation of the file , that can only be understood and handled by the Dash framework .
The Dash framework is the perfect tool to have your files transferred over-the-air from PC to Android , Android to PC , Android to Android or PC to PC , as long as you have a Wi-Fi connection available .
♦ HOW TO USE :
By opening DashDroid from your app drawer , you will be welcomed by the main screen . To be able to receive files from other devices , make sure "Run as client" is switched on .
To customize the way DashDroid works , tap on the Menu icon in the top right and choose "Settings" .
To automatically allow all incoming file transfers without first asking permission , make shure "Auto-approve all dashes" is checked .
If you want to manually choose where the files will be saved each time , check "Always ask where to save." , but if you want all files to be saved automatically to the same directory , leave it unchecked and make sure you setup a "Preset path" by tapping on the respective setting .
To overwrite incoming files that already exist with the same filename in the selected directory , check "Overwrite existing files" . If this isn't checked , DashDroid will make sure both files will be kept .
After you've configured DashDroid the way you like it , you can dash files to your device from any other device running dash . You will be automatically notified about new incoming transfers .
To send files to other devices , just go to any file manager that has a "Share file" function and choose "Dash this!" from the app list . Then just pick a target IP and DashDroid will do all the rest . You can even select and send multiple files at once!
♦ FEATURES :
☺Quick and easy to use
☺Supports any file type , not just media files
☺Multi file transfer
☺Compatible both with Android and Windows (currently only Windows 7 has been fully tested and reported as working)
☺Customizable dash handling experience - choose how you want the app to react to incoming transfers bassed on your needs
☺Built-in file system explorer
☺Data loss-free framework - you won't loose a single byte!
☺Constantly updated , the way the community likes it!
☻BETA LIMITS - will be removed after the app is released :
*BETA : You can only send and receive files smaller than 20MB
*BETA : Only single-file dashes available
^ - BOTH LIMITS REMOVED SINCE 1.2
♦ DASHWIN - DASH FOR WINDOWS
There's of course a Windows client available , with the same features as DashDroid . It's called DashWin and can be found on my website , speciffically here :
http://www.officialuizz.co.nf/dashwin.html
Both DashDroid and DashWin will be updated simmultaneously when there are changes in the Dash framework . Thus , they will both have the latest features at the same time . However , version-speciffic updates might occour , fixing OS-speciffic issuses , GUI design etc .
♦ CURRENT AND FUTURE PLANS :
☺Find out and kill every single bug that pops up . You tell me what's wrong - I'll fix it
☺No size limit - 50% done - it can be expanded up to 2GB right now , but I'm first interested in the app being fully stable - Size limit expanded to 2GB since 1.2!
☺Multi file / entire folder dashes - it will be done , but same as above . - Multi-transfer implemented since 1.2!
☺Improved GUI - I'm doing it as I'm also developing , but when the app will be stable enough , I'm going to dedicate a lot of time solely for the GUI - Switched to Holo theme since 1.1 - this should be enough for the momment . It will pe updated with future features are implemented .
☺Wi-Fi Direct alternative module (exclusive for DashDroid , working on it)
☺Community suggestions - What do YOU want the app to do ? Please let me know!
IS THE APP GOING TO BE PAID WHEN DONE !?
☺I'm not going to lie , it WILL have a paid version when it will be fully stable , BUT there will also be a FREE version available , most likely ad-supported and with some little limitations on top of it . Right now I'm interested in things to work , and depending on the feedback and interest people have in the app , I will decide what the future of the app is going to be .
UPDATE : The app will NOT have both a free and a paid version , however it will have in-app purchases and / or will be add supported .
The app will be completely free for a while .
There will be NO limitations to things such as the number of files that you will be able to send , or to the size limit .
WHAT ABOUT OTHER PLATFORMS !? WP , IOS , LINUX , MAC ETC
-WP : I would really like to do this . The only problem right now is that registering as a WP developer costs 99$ , and before recklessly jumping in , I would like to know if people are truly interested .
-iPhone : Not really interested . Maybe if I run out of things to do and an iPhone + App Store license fall from the sky .
-Linux : When I will be getting a new PC (hopefully until the end of the summer) I will be looking into this . I'm an all-Windows geek right now , but I'm really looking forward to exploring the depths of Linux .
-Mac : Most probably , no .
-Others : idk , have I missed anything important ? You won't be seeing Dash-powered apps on Bada / Tizen / Meego / Asha etc , that's for sure!
If and when I am thinking of porting it to a new OS , I will let you know .
♦ FOUND BUGS ? I'VE GOT THE SPRAY!
As you can see , both DashWin and DashDroid are in Beta right now . That means they are NOT fully stable and some things might make them crash or might cause errors to pop up . But unfortunately , as the one who developed this , my brain is kinda locked on the way the app SHOULD BE used , so I might not be able to find some bugs that an ordinary user would encounter . That's where you guys come in . If you find any bug , just drop a post in this thread explaining what the problem was and trying to explain as best you can what were the circumstances and what might have caused it . I'll look into it and fix it . The problem is not a matter of not being able to , but rather a matter of figuring out all the possible bugs .
I already have a small list that I will be taking care off , but I'm sure I've missed some quite important stuff as I always do , so if you happen to run into any trouble with either DashDroid or DashWin , please let me know immediately !

Because I won't be getting a Mac anytime soon , and I also have no idea how Mac OSX behaves . Maybe in the future , if Dash will proove to be worthy , but right now I have no plans for it . Maybe I'll collab with some Mac developers though , who knows .
THANK YOU SO MUCH DEV. THIS IS THE MOST EPIC APP ON ALL OF XDA FOR ME. BECAUSE OF YOU MY LIFE IS COMPLETE. I HOPE YOU CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THIS
Sorry couldn't not write it in caps
OP you're just awesome
Is it the same as Airdroid? What's the different?
AirDroid is more like an interface to manage your device from the PC . DashDroid is only for remote file transfer .
In simple terms , it's like Bluetooth file transfer between your phone and your PC , but via your Wi-Fi connection

I logged into the forum today from my win10 laptop and everytime I open a page in the forum, an executable file called USNC is downloaded. Any other members facing this?
What is this? Is it a bug? A virous? Or should I install it so as to be able to surf the forum better?
Any advise will be appreciated.
Thanx.
Hello.
Even the same thing happens to me. Every time I open a XDA forum page I will see a window where you plan to save a "USNC" file from the web address https://cs.ffbtas.com
This happens either with a Windows 10 PC or MAC.
What is it about? virus? malware?
Happens here also on my phone. Latest Chrome for Android.
I'm getting the same result. @svetius can you look into it?
Same here. It's piss annoying
Same here. I've like 6 downloads!
Yep just logged on and happening to me everytime a page opens on xda... dont think its a virus most likely a bug.. annoying and laggy though
I'm facing the same problem very annoying
Same here. Windows7
It's a broken targeted advert link
They are broken advertising links from a company called Feature Forward. You know those ad videos that play on all sorts of different websites, including this one? Ever wonder how they work? A targeted ad gets sent to your browser. Somehow these are broken, and all you get is an empty file with no extension. But if you check the packet data its an active link to a file traceable to a domain in Washington. Registered under Feature Forward.
http://whois.domaintools.com/ffbtas.com
Don´t know what this have to do with xda ? is there any mod admin or someone else who can declare whats happend ? maybe is a secure problem on xda ?

Yes I do!
However the XDA site is affected only. But I don't have any idea to get rid of it. Any help is greatly appreciated.
PS:
Just found out on Virus Total that it may be a clean site: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/...e6c5e0d40ee7ea3296d52373/analysis/1492037740/
It's good to know this doesn't seem like a cause for concern.
Same here
Same for me!
Same here. I was about to start a new thread and find many guys facing same issue.
Its annoying. Any thread / forum i click, this file gets downloaded automatically.
The same thing happens on anandtech and other sites. Hard to say if it was 100% legit to begin with or if it was a drive by download operation that has just been shut down.
i m also facing same issue and this file keep downloading automatically in my android as well as pc both running on same wifi network and i found that a new folder named file is formed in my download path which is not deleting if i try to delete then comes back in next second and its occupiying my storage it is behaving like some sort of virus how to get rid of this
Those using chrome i just installed Adblock & Adblock Plus and its gotten rid of the downloads
+1
getting the annoying USNC file thing too. and confirm it's on anandtech as well. if it's a broken advert, then guessing removing the rogue advert from the site would sort it no?
i also used internet explorer just to check if its chrome problem and it said "Do you want to open or save usnc from cs.ffbtas.com?"
Anybody any idea?
