croc is a command‑line utility for fast, simple, and secure file transfers between computers. It uses peer‑to‑peer connections with optional relay fallback and supports resumable, encrypted transfers.
Use cases
- Transfer large files securely between two laptops without setting up a server.
- Share a folder of documents with a colleague on a different operating system.
- Resume an interrupted file transfer over a flaky network.
- Send files from a web browser to a desktop client using the no‑install web version.
- Route transfers through a Tor proxy for added privacy.
When to choose
- You need a lightweight, cross‑platform solution that works from the terminal.
- End‑to‑end encryption and the ability to resume transfers are required.
- You prefer not to configure port forwarding or run a dedicated server.
- You want a tool that can also be used from a browser without installation.
When to avoid
- You require a graphical user interface with drag‑and‑drop support.
- You need integration with cloud storage APIs or automatic syncing.
- Your environment restricts outbound network connections or proxy usage.
