Sent

Sent is a handy little Windows app that helps you send messages from the command-line console to other users on your local area network. It’s great for quick communication, especially in group settings!

Compatibility with Other Tools

This tool works perfectly with WinPopup and the Windows NT Messenger Service. You can even send a message to multiple people at once! Plus, it lets you load messages and recipients from a plain text file. How cool is that?

Command-Line Control

The best part? You control everything through the command-line console. So, you’ll want to have some basic skills in writing command-line tasks. Don’t worry, though! The main window of Sent shows you some helpful tips to get started.

Sending Messages Made Easy

With Sent, you can send 'net send' messages to specific people. Just enter a list of users separated by commas along with their domains or workgroups. It really makes sending messages easier!

User-Defined Messages

You also get the option to create your own text message or use a message file for batch processing. This feature really helps if you need to send out similar messages repeatedly.

Customization Options

The program gives you plenty of freedom too! You can set the timeout in milliseconds and even enable broadcast message fragmentation (which is off by default). Want to add a signature? Go ahead! The default is your computer name, but feel free to change it up!

A Simple Solution for LAN Messaging

Overall, Sent offers an easy way to send messages within your LAN. It's perfect if you're looking for something that works like Windows’ 'net send' or 'msg' command but with added perks. If you’re not into installation steps, check out the portable version of the app which you can find here.
