  End-to-end encrypted file transfer. A magic wormhole CLI and API in Go (golang).

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:

• pcp

  23 1,026 0.0 Go

  📦 Command line peer-to-peer data transfer tool based on libp2p.

I’m currently working on a new version of pcp [0]. Based on croc, magic-wormhole and the likes it doesn’t require a relay. It uses the IPFS DHT as a discovery point to connect two machines. Haven’t touched the currently released code in two years but the new hole punching capabilities of libp2p show promising result so I’m working on a new version.

  6 23 0.0 Rust

  Simple Rust file server which lets you upload, share, and download files from a web browser. Ready-to-run binaries for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Free/Open-Source alternative to AirDrop/Dropbox for transferring files on your local network without having to install anything. A more sophisticated version of `python3 -m http.server 8000`.

Basically just start the file server, and then navigate to it using the web browser of your choice on any device (no need for a client application).

Download prebuilt binaries from https://github.com/akovacs/uploadserver/releases/

Or install from source if you prefer:

    # install rust toolchain

• wormhole-william-mobile

  9 150 6.2 Go

  End-to-end encrypted file transfer for Android and iOS. A Magic Wormhole Mobile client.

I made the android† port of Wormhole William[1] specifically to help transfer some encryption keys that I didn't want to ever live unencrypted on a server in the cloud.

†: There's also a working iOS port but its not released on the App Store because of how hostile Apple makes that process to open source developers.
