`croc` is a tool that allows any two computers to simply and securely transfer files and folders. AFAIK, *croc* is the only CLI file-transfer tool does **all** of the following:
|
|
|
|
- allows **any two computers** to transfer data (using a relay)
|
|
- provides **end-to-end encryption** (using PAKE)
|
|
- enables easy **cross-platform** transfers (Windows, Linux, Mac)
|
|
- allows **multiple file** transfers
|
|
- allows **resuming transfers** that are interrupted
|
|
- does *not* require a server or port-forwarding
|
|
|
|
For more information about `croc`, see [my blog post](https://schollz.com/software/croc6).

|
## Install
|
|
|
|
Download [the latest release for your system](https://github.com/schollz/croc/releases/latest), or install a release from the command-line:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ curl https://getcroc.schollz.com | bash
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
On macOS you can install the latest release with [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ brew install schollz/tap/croc
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
On Windows you can install the latest release with [Scoop](https://scoop.sh/):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ scoop bucket add schollz-bucket https://github.com/schollz/scoop-bucket.git
|
|
$ scoop install croc
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Or, you can [install Go](https://golang.org/dl/) and build from source (requires Go 1.12+):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ go get -v github.com/schollz/croc/v6
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
To send a file, simply do:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ croc send [file(s)-or-folder]
|
|
Sending 'file-or-folder' (X MB)
|
|
Code is: code-phrase
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then to receive the file (or folder) on another computer, you can just do
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ croc code-phrase
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The code phrase is used to establish password-authenticated key agreement ([PAKE](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password-authenticated_key_agreement)) which generates a secret key for the sender and recipient to use for end-to-end encryption.
|
|
|
|
There are a number of configurable options (see `--help`). A set of options (like custom relay, ports, and code phrase) can be set using `--remember`.
|
|
|
|
### Custom code phrase
|
|
|
|
You can send with your own code phrase (must be more than 4 characters).
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ croc send --code [code-phrase] [file(s)-or-folder]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Use pipes - stdin and stdout
|
|
|
|
You can pipe to `croc`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ cat [filename] | croc send
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In this case `croc` will automatically use the stdin data and send and assign a filename like "croc-stdin-123456789". To receive to `stdout` at you can always just use the `--yes` will automatically approve the transfer and pipe it out to `stdout`.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ croc --yes [code-phrase] > out
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
All of the other text printed to the console is going to `stderr` so it will not interfere with the message going to `stdout`.
|
|
|
|
### Self-host relay
|
|
|
|
The relay is needed to staple the parallel incoming and outgoing connections. By default, `croc` uses a public relay but you can also run your own relay:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ croc relay
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Make sure to open up TCP ports (see `croc relay --help` for which ports to open).
|
|
|
|
You can send files using your relay by entering `--relay` to change the relay that you are using if you want to custom host your own.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ croc --relay "myrelay.example.com:9009" send [filename]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If it's easier you can also run a relay with Docker:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ docker run -d -p 9009:9009 -p 9010:9010 -p 9011:9011 -p 9012:9012 -p 9013:9013 schollz/croc
|
|
```
