(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)
2. Setup Your Environment
1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment
Please see the organizational deployment guide
2. Get the package into your environment
Option 1: Cached Package (Unreliable, Requires Internet - Same As Community)-
Open Source or Commercial:
- Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
- You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download
-
Open Source
-
Download the package:
Download - Follow manual internalization instructions
-
-
Package Internalizer (C4B)
-
Run: (additional options)
choco download flyingcarpet.portable --internalize --version=1.2 --source=https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/
-
For package and dependencies run:
choco push --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'"
- Automate package internalization
-
Run: (additional options)
3. Copy Your Script
choco upgrade flyingcarpet.portable -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'1.2'" [other options]
See options you can pass to upgrade.
See best practices for scripting.
Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.
If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:
choco upgrade flyingcarpet.portable -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'1.2'"
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE
Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
Exit 0
}
Exit $exitCode

This package is likely a meta/virtual (*) or an installer (*.install) or portable (*.portable) application package.
- Meta/virtual (*) - has a dependency on the *.install or the *.portable package - it is provided for discoverability and for other packages to take a dependency on.
- Portable (*.portable/*.commandline (deprecated naming convention)/*.tool (deprecated naming convention)) - usually zips or archives that require no administrative access to install.
- Install (*.install/*.app (deprecated naming convention)) - uses native installers, usually requires administrative access to install.

Wireless, encrypted file transfer over automatically configured ad hoc networking. No network infrastructure required (access point, router, switch). Just two laptops (Mac, Linux, and Windows supported) with wireless chips in close range.
Don't have a flash drive? Don't have access to a wireless network or don't trust one? Need to move a file larger than 2GB between different filesystems but don't want to set up a file share? Try it out!
Screenshots:
Features:
- Cross-platform: Linux, Mac, and Windows.
- Transfer multiple files at once, without losing progress if the transfer is interrupted or canceled.
- Speeds over 120mbps (with laptops close together).
- Does not use Bluetooth or your local network, just wireless chip to wireless chip.
- Files encrypted in transit.
- Large files supported (<10MB RAM usage while transferring a 4.5GB file).
- No installation required and no dependencies needed.
- Interoperable GUI and CLI versions.
Restrictions:
- The Mac version is a standard
.app
bundle, the Linux version is an executable that writes dependencies to a temp location and runs from there, and the Windows version is a.zip
with an.exe
and other dependencies inside. I'm working on a better solution for Windows. It was a standalone.exe
when I was using wxWidgets but this has not been possible since moving to Qt. PRs welcome. - 64-bit only. Supported Operating Systems: macOS 10.12+, Windows 7+, and Linux Mint 18. I only have access to so many laptops, so if you've tried on other platforms please let me know whether it worked.
- Disables your wireless internet connection while in use (does not apply to Windows when receiving).
- On Mac: You may have to right-click and select "Open" if your settings don't allow running unsigned applications.
- On Windows: Click "More info" and "Run anyway" if you receive a Windows SmartScreen prompt. You may also need to disable WiFi Sense.
- I need help testing on Linux and supporting non-Debian-based distributions! Currently only confirmed to work on Mint 18, and only on wireless cards/drivers that support ad hoc networking with
nmcli
. - Flying Carpet should rejoin you to your previous wireless network after a completed or canceled transfer. This will not happen if the program freezes, crashes, or if the windows is closed during operation.
Planned features:
- Drag and drop for sending files.
- Folder upload.
- Replace
netsh wlan
with Native WiFi API on Windows. - Mobile versions, integrating functionality from https://github.com/claudiodangelis/qr-filetransfer.

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).
Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.

Flying Carpet enables wireless, encrypted, cross-platform file transfer over automatically configured ad hoc networking. No network infrastructure required (access point, router, switch). Just two laptops (Mac, Linux, and Windows supported) with wireless chips in close range.
Don't have a flash drive? Don't have access to a wireless network or don't trust one? Need to move a file larger than 2GB between different filesystems but don't want to set up a file share? Try it out!
Notes/Restrictions:
64-bit only. Supported Operating Systems: macOS 10.12+, Windows 7+, and Linux Mint 18. I only have access to so many laptops, so if you've tried on other platforms please let me know whether it worked.
Disables your wireless internet connection while in use (does not apply to Windows when receiving).
On Mac: May have to click Allow or enter username and password at prompt to clear Flying Carpet SSID from your preferred networks list. You may also have to right-click and select "Open" if your settings don't allow running unsigned applications.
On Windows: Must run as administrator (to allow connection through firewall and clear ARP cache). Right-click "Flying Carpet.exe" and select "Run as administrator." Click "More info" and "Run anyway" if you receive a Windows SmartScreen prompt. You may also need to disable WiFi Sense.
I need help testing on Linux and supporting non-Debian-based distributions! Currently only confirmed to work on Mint 18.
Flying Carpet should rejoin you to your previous wireless network after a completed or canceled transfer. This will not happen if the program freezes, crashes, or if the windows is closed during operation.
