ircp-tray — Linux Infrared File Transfer
Originally at gro.clinux.org/frs/?group_id=704
ircp-tray was a Linux GUI front-end for OBEX-over-IrDA file transfer — the small system-tray applet that let Linux users send and receive files to and from infrared-equipped phones and PDAs in the mid-2000s. The German Ubuntu user wiki (wiki.ubuntuusers.de) referenced it as the recommended IrDA file-transfer tool.
What it was
Before Bluetooth file transfer became universal in mobile phones, IrDA (Infrared Data Association) was how you got files between your laptop and your phone. ircp-tray wrapped the underlying ircp command-line tool in a small GTK system-tray applet so non-CLI users could drag and drop files to and from their devices.
Why it's archived
IrDA hardware has been removed from essentially every consumer device made after roughly 2008. The tool isn't useful on modern hardware. The project page is preserved here as a heritage reference for the German-language Ubuntu wiki entries that still link to it.
