ffsend is a fully featured command-line client for the Firefox Send file-sharing service, letting users upload and download files and directories up to 1GB via encrypted links. All encryption happens client-side, with optional password protection, download limits, and expiry enforced so files don't stay online forever.
Use cases
- share a file securely from the terminal
- upload a file and get an encrypted download link
- send large files with a password and download limit
- download a Send link from the command line
- generate a QR code for a shared file link
- delete or inspect a file I previously shared
- share a whole directory as an archive
When to choose
- you want secure, client-side-encrypted file sharing without a web interface
- you need scripted or automated file sharing from CI or the shell
- you want recipients to download via browser or CLI with auto-expiring links
When to avoid
- you need permanent file hosting rather than expiring links
- you depend on the public Send host being available (it's community-provided)
- you need a GUI-based sharing workflow
