I keep a long list of browser based and CLI p2p file transfer tools[1]. LimeWire (which now has its crypto currency probably) has been on a rampage recently aquiring some of really good tools including ShareDrop and SnapDrop. https://pairdrop.net/ https://pairdrop.net/ is the last one standing so far.

Was very annoyed when they acquired ShareDrop.

https://wormhole.app/ https://wormhole.app/ has been spared and is pretty good. Encrypted, dl can start before up is finished, decent size limit. Unrelated to the wormhole python cli tool and associated file sharing protocol.

  It's not a p2p tool btw.

    It can be, if you send files larger than 5GB. https://wormhole.app/faq https://wormhole.app/faq

      Yeah, it uses webtorrent behind the scenes: https://webtorrent.io https://webtorrent.io ...which is freaking awesome torrent software, by the way.

        It's okay - 99% of the video files I download have to be opened in VLC, though :/ But still, being able to almost immediately stream, even if through VLC, is pretty nice.

  Both not to be confused with Web Wormhole, which is also pretty good: https://webwormhole.io/ https://webwormhole.io/ Slightly different approach – "P2P first", i.e. both sender and receiver need to be online simultaneously throughout the transfer, but there's a TURN relay, so it should work in almost all network constellations.

  I use https://onionshare.org/ https://onionshare.org/. It's not p2p afaik, but dang! that one is easy to work with.

You should add sendme, it's one of the best I've tried for the CLI. https://www.iroh.computer/sendme https://www.iroh.computer/sendme

Probably you can also add Dragit[1], which is a desktop p2p file sharing tool for local network with automatic host discovery. Currently supporting Linux and Windows. (author & maintainer here) I'm not sure if I should keep on working on the tool, considering the length of the list so far. :D [1]: https://github.com/sireliah/dragit https://github.com/sireliah/dragit

The Galene videoconferencing system <https://galene.org https://galene.org> includes peer-to-peer file transfer. The web client is built in, but there's also a command-line client at <https://github.com/jech/galene-file-transfer https://github.com/jech/galene-file-transfer>.

My previous company used WeTransfer a lot, because we needed to send large filesystem images and Android releases to and from China, and the great firewall hobbles obvious things like using gdrive.

In the CLI section, magic-wormhole is missing, instead you have wormhole-williams which is just an outdated implementation in GO of the original

I noticed this when i was actually looking for something exactly like this tool earlier in the week. I didn't realize it was a recent thing.
