<h1 id="awesome-file-sharing-tool">Awesome file sharing tool</h1>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Croc is one of the best easy to use file sharing cli tools I came across and
|
||
only recently discovered how easy it can be to self host your own relay.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Croc as far as I understand needs an intermediary to staple as it says the
|
||
connection between two computers. If I grasp the concept correctly if two
|
||
computers can both connect to a third one then a connection between them can
|
||
be established. The files sent over don’t get first uploaded to the third one
|
||
and then downloaded to the second but somehow get uploaded and downloaded
|
||
simultaneously.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
I’ll have to further read about that but in short if you have a computer like
|
||
a server with a static ip that is easily accessible from the internet then
|
||
because of the great job the author did you can host a relay simply by typing
|
||
the command
|
||
</p>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<p>croc relay</p>
|
||
</blockquote>
|
||
<p>
|
||
which will by default use the ports 9009-9013 but you can specify your own
|
||
with the –ports arguement like
|
||
</p>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<p>croc relay –ports 1111,1112</p>
|
||
</blockquote>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Then if you make that into a systemd service (which I won’t be covering just
|
||
yet cause I don’t really understand them and only make them by copy pasting
|
||
basic templates 😐) it’s basically a set and forget kind of thing and you can
|
||
now send files to anyone in any operating system by using croc by typing
|
||
</p>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<p>croc –relay “your.domain:9009” send [file]</p>
|
||
</blockquote>
|
||
<p>and the recipient can download it by typing</p>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<p>croc –relay “your.domain:9009” [code]</p>
|
||
</blockquote>
|
||
<p>
|
||
This is super useful cause there was a time when the public instance was down
|
||
and I couldn’t send files when it was just so easy to not be dependent on the
|
||
public instance in the first place.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
You should definetely read more about it on Croc’s github page and set up your
|
||
own relay asap 😎
