  10. You can use https://github.com/saljam/webwormhole if you want P2P file transfer. It only has a CLI tool right now for desktops. It works in the browser though, so that is great for users looking for a GUI!

  11. If you’re looking for an alternative, consider https://webwormhole.io/ (source: https://github.com/saljam/webwormhole ). I used it once to send some small files, and it worked well. I don’t know how well it handles large files.

  15. https://github.com/saljam/webwormhole is another great one. * Native Client (in Go so you use pretty much everywhere) * Uses PAKE for E2E security. Even if the server is hostile they can't get anything.

  16. Hm, apparently what you found is something else (i.e. https://github.com/saljam/webwormhole/issues/5 ). There is still an open bug for large file transfers: https://github.com/saljam/webwormhole/issues/4

  17. Anyone else get something like this? https://github.com/saljam/webwormhole/issues/27 I was running `ww send ~/Downloads/myfile.bin` and my friend went to recv it from browser.

  18. The command line version shouldn't have any trouble with large files. There's https://github.com/saljam/webwormhole/issues/4 to fix the web version. :)
