Learn more about croc
croc is a Go-based command-line file transfer utility that facilitates secure data exchange between any two computers. It uses Password-Authenticated Key Exchange (PAKE) to establish encrypted connections through relay servers, eliminating the need for direct network connectivity between sender and receiver. The tool supports IPv6-first networking with IPv4 fallback, transfer resumption, and proxy connections including Tor. Common use cases include transferring files across different operating systems, sharing data in restricted network environments, and automating file transfers in scripts.
