100% agree - I've used Wormhole a few times when I try to quickly get data into interactive VM sessions, because it works great otherwise, but the graphics consistently grind the whole thing to a halt.
I really don't get the reasoning. It looks kind of cool, but it makes it super unusable for a bunch of use cases from very old computers to interactive sessions on raspberry pis to constrained VMs. And those are exactly the kind of places where I want friendly easy tools to copy files across for quick system admin or to get logs back out! Doesn't seem like a good tradeoff.
- r9 5y agoI use rclone serve for this task: rclone serve http ./dir/or.file --addr :9000 File/s can be grabbed with curl/get etc or a browser
- rcdwealth 5y agoIt is just not encrypted. But you could serve encrypted files that user can decrypt on computer. Point with the browser is that server can decrypt it on the fly regardless what browser or device user is using. That is not same as rclone beautifully serving any files.
