A Go implementation of the magic wormhole protocol providing end-to-end encrypted transfer of text, files, and directories between computers using a short human-readable wormhole code. It ships both a CLI tool and a Go API, and is compatible with the official Python magic wormhole client.
Use cases
- send files securely between computers with end-to-end encryption
- transfer a directory to a friend using a short code phrase
- send text messages over an encrypted channel from the command line
- embed magic wormhole file transfer into a Go application
- interoperate with the official python magic wormhole cli
When to choose
- you need peer-to-peer encrypted file transfer without setting up servers or accounts
- you want a Go library or CLI compatible with the magic wormhole ecosystem
- you want to send files, directories, or text with just a short code phrase
When to avoid
- you need persistent hosted file sharing with links and access control
- you need high-throughput bulk transfer with resumable downloads
- you need a GUI-based transfer tool
