WebWormhole is a tool that creates ephemeral, peer-authenticated WebRTC pipes between computers for sending files or data, secured with a PAKE (CPace) and one-time codes. It ships as a Go CLI (ww), a web client, and browser extensions for Firefox and Chrome.

Use cases

• send a file to a friend without a cloud service
• transfer files between two computers using a one-time code
• pipe data between machines behind NATs
• share files from the browser to the command line
• self-host a file transfer relay and signalling server

When to choose

• you need peer-to-peer file transfer with end-to-end encryption and no accounts
• you want a magic-wormhole-style workflow that works in browsers
• you need NAT traversal without manual port forwarding

When to avoid

• you need compatibility with magic-wormhole clients
• you require a security-audited, production-hardened tool
• you need large-scale or resumable bulk transfers
