It's weird croc doesn't mention magic wormhole in their readme, if only to explain the differences with this well known tool, and why one would use croc rather than wormhole, which people are probably more used to using and that they can apt install, etc
- forty 3y agoHere is the answer from the project website "magic-wormhole has most everything (currently its missing capabilities for multiple file transfers and file resuming), but it requires installing lots of the Python ecosystem which is tricky for non-developers (and Windows users)." For the python part, I guess wormhole-williams works too then.
- tptacek 3y agoA wormhole user would just transfer a directory, rather than a globbed list of files, but croc's multiple file transfer thing is a difference between the two tools.
