Slightly off topic: I'm a fan of solutions like https://webwormhole.io/ https://webwormhole.io/ - which lets you send the file directly from one computer to the other via webrtc instead of uploading to a middleman server... at the expense of not being able to generate a link that you can send to someone else and forget about.

- blacksmith_tb 2y agoI am partial to croc[1] which will send directly on your local network, or encrypted through a relay across the 'net. 1: https://github.com/schollz/croc https://github.com/schollz/croc
- KomoD 2y agoFor local transfers (mainly between my phone, pc and laptop) I've been using LocalSend, works great.
- justusthane 2y agoOf all the P2P file transfer tools I’ve tried (Magic Wormhole, file.pizza, localsend, etc) I’ve had the best luck with croc working under various network configurations.
- psnehanshu 2y agoI use ToffeeShare. It also uses WebRTC for p2p transfer. But it fallbacks to a central server if p2p can't be established (just like a TURN server)
- EasyMark 2y agoWouldn’t it need to at least go through the middle man as a relay for webrtc to work? Most people are behind so many layers I don’t see how webrtc could work any other way for the average user.
- gpm 2y agoWebRtc usually manages to punch a hole in my experience (which, to be fair, isn't with particularly hostile network architecture), but I believe it does go through a middle man relay if that fails.
