Portal is a command-line file transfer utility for sending files and folders between any two computers. It uses PAKE2 end-to-end encryption with a temporary password, preferring direct peer-to-peer transfer and falling back to a relay server.

Use cases

  • send files from one computer to another from the terminal
  • transfer files between machines without a cloud account
  • securely share files with end-to-end encryption
  • move files between computers on the same local network
  • send a folder to a friend using a one-time password
  • transfer files between different operating systems

When to choose

  • you want fast, encrypted terminal-based file transfer with no accounts
  • you need cross-platform support via Homebrew, Scoop, WinGet, or a curl installer
  • you want direct LAN transfer with automatic relay fallback

When to avoid

  • you need a GUI or browser-based transfer interface
  • you need persistent hosting or resumable transfers of very large files
  • you need transfers to multiple recipients at once
