I have a few qualms with this app. I've easily and securely sent things from one computer to another using a simple FTP server, with all of the features that croc has listed. As for CLI support, I've written a small helper tool that allows me to transfer via CLI - giving me more security since I don't pull in any dependencies in my own code.

SFTP also works better through firewalls and NATs. VSFTPD is an example of an FTP server that supports encryption or FTPS.
