croc is a tool that allows any two computers to simply and securely transfer files and folders.

https://schollz.com/tinker/croc6/

  • allows any two computers to transfer data (using a relay)
  • provides end-to-end encryption (using PAKE)
  • enables easy cross-platform transfers (Windows, Linux, Mac)
  • allows multiple file transfers
  • allows resuming transfers that are interrupted
  • local server or port-forwarding not needed
  • ipv6-first with ipv4 fallback
  • can use proxy, like tor

Another thing like that I wish I’d discover sooner is syncthing - it’s really intuitive, just point it to a folder and it syncs stuff across your devices automatically. With it, a lot of cloud storage, backup and file transfer applications and features are completely redundant.

EDIT: Ah, I did not scroll far enough to see that this recommendation is literally the next comment from this.

I am by no means a star whore, but 26.4k stars on git?!? And I’ve never heard of it. Mind blown. Thanks for the suggestion!

Croc just requires each computer to have internet access.
