I use http://transfer.sh http://transfer.sh for sending large files between machines on different networks - you don't even need an account to use it. I presume there must be a maximum file size, but I haven't hit it (yet).
Still, nice to have another option incase transfer.sh goes away!
- sodality2 6y agoSeems like 10GB according to their site.
- pbronez 6y agoWhat’s the business model for transfer.sh? It looks like a free service that hosts your files on their servers temporarily. That sounds like a variant on the image hosting problem, where it’s unsustainable if it gets popular. You also have to trust them with your encrypted data. The nice thing about magic wormhole is that the hosted service only provides NAT busting / initial connection set up. Yes, this means you have to do direct, real time transfers, but it’s also much more secure and cheaper for the bridge host.
- GordonS 6y agoThere used to be a notice on the site explaining that it was hosted by Storj.io, but it appears to be gone now. I should have also mentioned that it's an OSS project, so you can self-host if you want: https://github.com/dutchcoders/transfer.sh/ https://github.com/dutchcoders/transfer.sh/ Oh, and there is also https://keep.sh https://keep.sh, which is free for files less than 500MB - they have a commercial offering too.
