Been running a selfhosted PairDrop instance for about a year now and it's amazingly useful. No apps to install, just web based "AirDrop" that works across macOS, Windows, iOS, Linux...

Localsend: Open-Source Airdrop Alternative
It's worth quoting here fellow commenter https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37940411:
https://pairdrop.net/ is a fork of SnapDrop with a more responsive maintainer (apparently: https://github.com/schlagmichdoch/PairDrop/discussions/115)

YouTransfer: Self-hosted file transfer and sharing solution
Another alternative. This uses only HTTP and requires no special software, except the server. Elegant, IMHO. Extremely robust in fact.

After starting the server, a few options.
Method 1: Visit https://127.0.0.1:1080 in a Javascript-enabled browser and fill out HTML form
Method 2: Visit https://127.0.0.1:1080/noscript in any browser and fill out HTML form
Method 3: Use any TCP client, TLS client, HTTP client or HTTPS client. For example here is a quick and dirty shell script
#!/bin/sh

There is also a Typescript version.
Unlike MagicWormhole, this does not require Python. Any HTTP client will do, whether graphical browser, text-only browser, curl, anything that can make HTTP requests. Javascript is optional.
There is an example server run by the author for testing but unlike MagicWormhole it is not a default; the address is not found anywhere in the source code.

Magic Wormhole, or PAKE in general, might be well-suited for transferring files between two or more parties, but here the question was about transferring files between two computers operated by the same party.

Secure TCP tunnel from anywhere with curl and nc for single connection
All communication outside is complete in HTTP/HTTPS. The protocol is also familiar, widely used, accepted, and trusted already. Piping Server is open on GitHub, developed in TypeScript and Node.js. Other implementations in Rust and Go are provided as open-source. The server is designed to keep simple as possible to verify the source and reduce the potential of bugs.
