FOSS File Transfer Program?
FOSS File Transfer Program?
Like Localshare but works over the internet?
Any recommendations appreciated
Thanks in advance
Syncthing
OnionShare
Syncthing?
pairdrop.net maybe?
It's mainly for local network, but you can do internet transfers.
I use this all the time, also nice for text share.
I don't think the entire service is open source but I really like https://wormhole.app/
OnionShare is FOSS and transfers files over TOR network.
why not something as basic as sftp?
SFTP should come with your OS. If you're on *nix, some fiddling around with usergroups is recommended for security reasons.
One of the GUI versions of Magic Wormhole is the best and easiest way. Here’s my favorite https://rymdport.github.io/
If you're on linux just use scp
rsync
Edit: Or maybe you want a GUI?
In order of personal preference:
scp (sftp)
rsync/openrsync
nfs
host files on an ftp server with ftpd
hosting files on an http server with httpd
Croc, although it's command-line only.
Syncthing is also great but may not be what you're looking for.
I wrote my own. I aimed for a different UX than most services. For my use case I have a few devices that I often share files between. So opening the tool on both devices was a bit annoying. Instead you select the file on the first device and you get a push notification on the other. Then the transfer is done over WebRTC (locally if possible). All communication is done end-to-end encrypted and over your browser's push service.

Syncthing is pretty good.
FileZilla.
FTP
maybe 0up.io?

It uses webrtc for P2P connections.
Oh, over the Internet, not just the local network ... then maybe Lufi?
for example this instance: https://upload.disroot.org/
Works well, but not particularly fast with large amounts of data (up to 2GB possible)
@7_Stipend_Jackal Not really sure what you mean by "like Localshare". Is that a specific piece of software, or do you just mean sharing files between two devices on a local network via whatever protocol?
I've played around with croc a while back just to test, seems okay.
The easiest thing would be to mount a remote network storage as a local directory. This way you can easily access it to read and write through normal software.
Have a look at Localsend, FOSS Cross platform, super easy to setup, great UI /UX, I love it. It's like the better Airdrop available for everyone.
"File Browser" or "Sharry" allow you to make public links to share files with others BUT you need to run them on a server that is accessible to both parties.
KDE-Connect? https://kdeconnect.kde.org/
It works very well for the data exchange between Linux, Android, iOS and Microsoft devices. https://apps.kde.org/kdeconnect/
Of course, it can do a lot more, it's a bit oversized for just data exchange
Not for over-the-internet use
Yes, sorry, I had overlooked that. That's why I recommended Lufi afterwards.
This is all i see
