Thanks.

Here’s a tutorial for transferring files between nodes: [https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/blob/master/docs/file-transfer.md](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/blob/master/docs/file-transfer.md)

You might also check out the http-api if you want to do this from within a webpage or something: [https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs-http-client](https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs-http-client)

Hi, Molly

Is Go documentation example programamatic? It seems it only works on console.

Im looking for something such as this:

```auto
ipfs = new Ipfs()

ipfs.connect()

response = ipfs.add(file)

```

Thanks;
