fsend

fsend is a peer-to-peer file transfer webapp and CLI tool.

Note

fsend-site (the webapp) uses WebRTC for the connection, without a fallback relay. So depending on your network/browser, it may not work. fsend-cli makes use of iroh which provides a fallback relay by default.

Features

  • P2P File Transfer: Directly send files between devices, a relay is only used if a direct connection cannot be established.
  • Web and CLI Interface: fsend is available as a web application and a command-line tool.
  • Resumable Transfers: If the connection is lost, the transfer can be resumed from where it left off.
  • Transfer files & Folders

Installation

The cli version can be installed via cargo.

cargo install fsend-cli
