wormhole-william

And https://github.com/psanford/wormhole-william which is a Go reimplementation of the client. I only want to point this out specifically because an apt-install of magic-wormhole on Ubuntu 24.04 actually results in a program that does not work (the beauty of python dependencies at play?)

Magic Wormhole gives you secure file transmission for free. Give one of the implementations a try: https://github.com/psanford/wormhole-william

I like the wormhole-william[0] Go implementation of "Magic Wormhole" protocol on the CLI. There's a couple of compatible Android apps[1][2] in the F-Droid store and Rydmport[3] for your GUI loving friends.

There are a few browser based p2p file sharing tools [1] and a bunch of CLI tools out there as well for the same job. # Browser Based 1. FilePizza https://file.pizza/ 2.

wormhole-william[1] is a nice version in Go, compatible with the original version, with an easy to install release binary. [1]: https://github.com/psanford/wormhole-william

If you want go, there is a magic-wormhole implementation called wormhole-william [1]. Rymdport [2] is a decent cross-platform app using it. [1] https://github.com/psanford/wormhole-william [2] https://github.com/Jacalz/rymdport

A more popular and, I think, carefully analyzed alternative, from which croc was inspired, is Magic Wormhole; a good Golang implementation that compiles down to a single binary is wormhole-william: https://github.com/psanford/wormhole-william/releases I believe croc has some features wormhole doesn't (and some anti-features, like being able to pick curves and hashes). But also just that it's worth knowing that Magic Wormhole is kind of the "default" tool that does this.

I didn't know about https://bashupload.com. Thanks for mentioning it. There is also https://chunk.io/ in the https://transfer.sh category. It requires free registration by emailing the owner. It has some interesting features, like uploading multiple files in one HTTP request and syntax highlighting for source code. Files are associated with your account, so you can delete them without a per-file token and list them. https://github.com/schollz/croc is like Magic Wormhole but can send multiple files and resume transfers. It is written in Go. It releases official static binaries, including for Free/Net/OpenBSD. (Magic Wormhole has alternative implementations with static binaries: https://github.com/psanford/wormhole-william, https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole.rs.)

I use the go version[1] implementation, for a bit easier installation. [1]: https://github.com/psanford/wormhole-william

This is exactly the use case for Magic Wormhole, which is what the cool kids use to transfer files: https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole Magic Wormhole uses an end-to-end PAKE to create an encrypted transport between two points in the Internet, using a rendezvous server. It doesn't store files, which is almost never what you want; it's not a way to send a file and have 10 or 100 people download it. But it's probably the best way to get a file through a bunch of arbitrary network controls, NATs, &c to a desired destination. There's a Go implementation as well: https://github.com/psanford/wormhole-william ... which is what I use most of the time. If you haven't played with it, I highly recommend it.

TLDR at the bottom. It seems the answer is Brian Warner's magic-wormhole. You're gonna see lots of file transfer sites with wormhole in their name, but if you want security you should use the original one, which is BW's m-w. It is implemented in Python [1], so it's hard to install. So someone made a Go version of it [2] that has binaries for windows, Mac, Linux, BSD etc. But it's command line so maybe not suitable for lay people. So another person made a GUI for it that also has binaries for all OS [3]. Also there is an android app [4]. Someone needs to implement an iOS one.

croc probably shouldn't be used if you want security: [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27054885 [2] https://twitter.com/Sc00bzT/status/1396199915638992896 Magic Wormhole has a good implementation in Go, which is compatible with the original Python implementation (croc is not compatible with magic wormhole). It has windows binary and binaries for most of the popular OS. https://github.com/psanford/wormhole-william Binaries: https://github.com/psanford/wormhole-william/releases There's GUI: https://github.com/Jacalz/wormhole-gui Android app too: https://github.com/psanford/wormhole-william-mobile Support for resuming transfers is planned I think.
