the file is there...


$ ls -arlht test_file

this seems broken.

Hey,

Thanks for your bugreport.

The traceback does not look like you have issue about the file you share.

It seems like onionshare is unable to connect to a tor server/ start a tor
server and does not find your tor control socket.  So it is possible, that it
is a configuration issue.
Please check if the control socket exists and that the tor process is started
correctly.

Regards,

hefee
