magic-wormhole VS wormhole-william

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.

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

If you want go, there is a magic-wormhole implementation called wormhole-william [1].

Rymdport [2] is a decent cross-platform app using it.

A more popular and, I think, carefully analyzed alternative, from which croc was inspired, is Magic Wormhole; a good Golang implementation that compiles down to a single binary is wormhole-william:

Wormhole William, a slightly janky Android implementation of magic wormhole, for simple file sharing between devices. Mostly works!

use the go version (which you have to download from github) https://github.com/psanford/wormhole-william

And there’s wormhole-William, but as a derivative of the Python magic wormhole it loses points for originality.

If you want to encrypt files and upload to the cloud, rclone. Otherwise age and Wormhole-William.
