  • croc

    Easily and securely send things from one computer to another :crocodile: :package:

  • A recommendation which I think you'll love, which also happens to use Termux, is croc. It's very easy to install on any Linux distribution, and to install it on Termux, just run pkg install croc. There is also an Android client for croc on F-Droid, but using it via Termux is much more powerful. Just run croc followed by a list of files or glob patterns. By default croc generates a long password which can be annoying to type, but you can also specify your own with croc send --code . You can even send text with croc send --text.

  • syncthing-android

    Wrapper of syncthing for Android.

  • The first recommendation, which a lot of commenters have already mentioned, is Syncthing. If you need file synchronization between various devices, you can not go wrong with Syncthing. It's very easy to setup.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
