I don't see an option to send text (browsed through README and Issues), is this not possible with croc? With Magic Wormhole it's the default to get a message prompt when running "wormhole send". Or you can do it as a oneliner with "wormhole send --text 'something'". Wormhole William can do this as well IIRC. I use MWH often for sending stuff like URL's, passwords, API keys... having to create a file for that is quite annoying (and remembering to delete it afterwards). "brew install magic-wormhole" or "sudo apt-get install magic-wormhole" is easy enough and I don't hang around with people who use Windows. ;) Resumable file transfers sound like a great feature though. Not sure it's implementable with MWH the way it now works.

Not possible right now. This is a good idea, I can add it in :)

Just added it now. Send with croc send --text "hello, world" [1] [1]: https://github.com/schollz/croc/releases/tag/v8.2.0 https://github.com/schollz/croc/releases/tag/v8.2.0

  Nice! I just tried it out now. I also like the fact that "croc" defaults to receive, where with MWH you need to type "wormhole receive". Saves a lot of keystrokes. Tab completion is something I'll miss from MWH (I'm already converted!) but I can live with it, and my non-technical friends aren't even aware of the concept.
