WormHole: great tool to easily transfer files via LAN

Did anybody yet manage to get it working between Windows Host and QEmu AOS4 Peg2 emulation? Started it on both ends, accepted the firewall changes on Win11 side and also checked the debug output.

Could not find any problems but Wormhole does not connect to each other. (On Win side IIRC it always shows connected to 127.0.0.1
disconnected from 127.0.0.1 and repeats this endlessly.

Tested under Qemu AmigaOneXE and for me Wormhole works perfectly. however I run Qemu as Sudo under MacOs maybe that makes the difference.

I also use “vmnet-bridged” for the internet connection.

It's great that Wormhole also receives this support.

Yes I managed to get this working. I use a tap network connection
for qemu, and give AOS a static ip address in the same range as Windows.
Works like a charm. EDIT:It should also work with DHCP.Although it takes a long time for OS4 to find the DHCP settings.
EDIT2: with tap network connection, the speed under OS4 is very slow. I get about 15K/s with my 1 Gbps connection.
So for large files it's better to use an usb-stick.

I don't know what ports WormHole needs but for QEMU network configuration docs see the FAQ on my qmiga.codeberg.page The QEMU doc linked from these shows how the user/slirp network works. It's behind it's own NAT so if you want to allow connection to the guest you need hostfwd option to open the port similar how you have to allow incoming connections on your router. Think of the user/slirp network as a LAN behind a router doing NAT.

Did some google search but it seems this is a MacOS related parameter? As for bridging on Win11 I did not yet find an "easy" to understand way to get it done.

Thank you. Seems there is something for Win2000/XP for which OpenVPN is needed (for Using TAP network interfaces). Guess I will then stick to the USB solution + FTP. Or did I got something wrong here?

@balaton

WormHole uses the port 64738.
