FilePizza

Thu, 20 Aug 2015 13:00:07 +0100

FilePizza:

FilePizza enables fast and private peer-to-peer file transfers in your web browser.

By using WebRTC, FilePizza eliminates the initial upload traditionally required when sharing files via file sharing services (e.g. Dropbox). Instead of transmitting files through an intermediary server, the sender initializes a transfer and receives a “tempalink” they can distribute. When recipients click on this link, they connect directly to the sender’s browser to complete the download. Because the file never touches the server, the transfer is fast, private, and secure.

Magic Wormhole

Magic Wormhole:

Get things from one computer to another, safely.

This package provides a library and a command-line tool named wormhole, which makes it possible to get short pieces of text (and arbitrary-sized files) from one computer to another. The two endpoints are identified by using identical “wormhole codes”: in general, the sending machine generates and displays the code, which must then be typed into the receiving machine.

The codes are short and human-pronounceable, using a phonetically-distinct wordlist. The receiving side offers tab-completion on the codewords, so usually only a few characters must be typed. Wormhole codes are single-use and do not need to be memorized.
