magic-wormhole VS webwormhole

Some CLI alternatives if you don't need the GUI:

Croc: https://github.com/schollz/croc

Magic-Wormhole: https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole

I used to use MW but switched to croc as the single binary was easier to deploy.

On a similar note, can someone tell me what's the fastest (wireless) way to transfer files between two laptops on same network (i.e. hotspot)?

scp, rsync, wormhole give me only 2-3 mb/s.

What's causing the bottleneck here and what am I missing? Thanks in advance!

Check out wormhole. It works on Linux, Windows and MacOS, keeps your data entirely on the private network and uses HTTP as the underlying transfer vehicle. Since HTTP isn't nearly as bothered by high latency (as compared to SMB or FTP), this is probably as fast as you will be able to transfer files on that high latency network.

You can try https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole

There's the python magic-wormhole if you want a 1-to-1 data transfer just to OP by sharing the info through a chat/dm/whatever.

I prefer bashupload.com or transfer.sh for this. Both alternatives have worked well for me.

Alternatively, you can check out magic wormhole (for a more secure transfer of files between two terminals): https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole

If you do happen to have internet access, this tool is the best: https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole

I'm sure it could be misused, but by itself it's fine - https://github.com/saljam/webwormhole

AV1 support is already available in libwebrtc!

So when I started building Pion the target use case was to make it easier to build scalable servers. Instead of interacting with a WebRTC servers REST API to query information/load balance I wanted to have it all in one code base. It also is really useful to have Media+Transport decoupled. Lots of use cases I didn't realize grew out of that.

* Teleoperation/robotics (https://github.com/Ragnar-H/TelloGo)

* Control remote software (https://github.com/m1k1o/neko)

* Cross platform file sharing (https://github.com/saljam/webwormhole)

* Sending pre-recorded media (RTMP/HLS/RTSP -> WebRTC)

* Custom DataChannel servers/bridges (https://snowflake.torproject.org/)

Lots of other cool ones in https://github.com/pion/awesome-pion I need to update it. It has been a bit since I have looked through https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/pion/webrtc/v3?tab=importedby

Fair question, this server or the code is not owned by me and is available on GitHub. Though after reading up on it, if the server was ever to be compromised it would be possible to inject malicious code in between, this, however, could be mitigated if you were to use the command-line utility mentioned on the Github page. Or you could use Chrome and Firefox extensions, as there is no remote code loaded and no extra permissions needed.

You can use https://github.com/saljam/webwormhole if you want P2P file transfer.

It only has a CLI tool right now for desktops. It works in the browser though, so that is great for users looking for a GUI!
