This could be built out as a service that is competitive to SendFile, DropBox and other file sharing services. If I understand it correctly the server between the sender and receiver never stores the file itself which is unique.
- sravfeyn 15y agoYeah the server here actually stores the file :), albeit temporarily.
- af3 15y agoI wonder, if it is possible instead of temporary storing files, to script reverse ssh tunneling [1]? [1] http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Reverse_Tunneling http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Reverse_Tunneling
- icebraining 15y agoThere's Share[1] and AeroFS, as far as I know, they're both P2P. EDIT: As a solution that doesn't need apps and uses the server only as a temporary middleman instead of actually storing the file, there's JetBytes[2].

- BerislavLopac 15y agoApparently, there is more and more kind-of P2P sharing apps and solutions coming out every day -- I've recently learned of http://folders.io/ http://folders.io/ -- with BitTorrent not being the only game in town any more. But one problem is still remaining, and the present solutions are under the heaviest attack: discovery. BitTorrent is using trackers, and we've seen attacks on sites like PirateBay that provide those services. Is there a way to develop -- or perhaps it's been done already -- a discovery and tracking system which is truly P2P and simply cannot be attacked, at least not in a technical way?
