*croc* allows any two computers to directly and securely transfer files and folders. When sending a file, *croc* generates a random code phrase which must be shared with the recipient so they can receive the file. The code phrase encrypts all data and metadata and also serves to authorize the connection between the two computers in a intermediary relay. The relay connects the TCP ports between the two computers and does not store any information (and all information passing through it is encrypted).
I hear you asking, *Why another open-source peer-to-peer file-transfer utilities?* [There](https://github.com/cowbell/sharedrop) [are](https://github.com/webtorrent/instant.io) [great](https://github.com/kern/filepizza) [tools](https://github.com/warner/magic-wormhole) [that](https://github.com/zerotier/toss) [already](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs) [do](https://github.com/zerotier/toss) [this](https://github.com/nils-werner/zget). But, no we don't, because after review, [I found it was useful to make a new one](https://schollz.github.io/sending-a-file/). Namely, *croc* has no dependencies (just [download a binary and run](https://github.com/schollz/croc/releases/latest)), it works on any operating system, and its blazingly fast because it does parallel transfer over multiple TCP ports.
