Piping Server is a streaming data transfer server over pure HTTP/HTTPS that relays data between devices using the same path, without storing anything. It enables transfers via curl pipes or a browser Web UI, supporting infinite streams like text, video, or protocols.

Use cases

• transfer files between devices without installing software
• pipe data between machines over http with curl
• share text or files between phone and computer via browser
• stream video or screen share between devices over http
• relay ssh or vnc protocols between devices
• transfer data through nat without port forwarding

When to choose

• you need zero-installation transfers using only curl or a browser
• you want storageless, streaming transfers of arbitrary or infinite data
• you need to move data between devices behind NATs without configuration

When to avoid

• you need durable file storage or upload history on the server
• you need high-throughput peer-to-peer transfer without a relay
• you require built-in authentication and access control on transfers
