  • croc

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

  • izi

    Self-hosted single-script file sharing system in PHP

  • For the same purposes, I use a script I wrote that can be thought of as a simple self hosted FF Send alternative.

    Allows you to easily upload files to your server from a web interface and share them.

    It's a single PHP script you chuck on a server (shared hosting or virtual private or homelab): https://github.com/aaviator42/izi

  • wormhole-william

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

  • I use the go version[1] implementation, for a bit easier installation.

  • Plik

    Plik is a temporary file upload system (Wetransfer like) in Go.

  • There is another file hosting application called plik.

    https://github.com/root-gg/plik

    It also supports login providers like Google and has cli clients.

  • portal

    Portal is a quick and easy command-line file transfer utility from any computer to another. (by SpatiumPortae)

  • Portal does much of the same but is usually quicker in sending files than both croc and magic wormhole, since files are effectively compressed before sending among other things [note: I'm one of the creators of Portal].

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
