The only other parties\ninvolved is a STUN server (Google STUN) and an optional roundezvous server (included in this repo).\n- **Encryption**: quic-send uses the encryption provided by the [quinn](https://crates.io/crates/quinn) crate (which uses [rustls](https://crates.io/crates/rustls) and [ring](https://crates.io/crates/ring) under the hood).\n- **Resumable transfers**: If the connection is lost, the transfer can be resumed from where it left off.\n- **Transfer files \u0026 Folders**\n- **No port forwarding required**: quic-send makes use of [UDP hole punching](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UDP_hole_punching) to establish a connection between the two peers, without requiring open ports.\n\n## Installation\n\nThe cli version can be downloaded from crates.io:\n\n```bash\ncargo install qs-cli\n```\n\nDownloads to the gui version (as well as the cli version) can be found on the [releases page](https://github.com/maxomatic458/quic-send/releases)\n\n## Usage\n\n### Sending files\n\n```\n$ qs send \u003cfile/folder\u003e\ncode: 123456\non the other peer, run the following command:\n\nqs receive 123456\n```\n\n### Receiving files\n\n```\n$ qs receive 123456\n```\n\n\n## Comparison with other file transfer tools\n| Feature | quic-send | [Magic Wormhole](https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole) | [croc](https://github.com/schollz/croc) |\n|---------|-----------|--------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------|\n| Encryption | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |\n| Direct (P2P) transfer  | ✅ | (✅)* | ❌ |\n| Resumable transfers | ✅ | ❌ | ✅ |\n| Transfer files \u0026 Folders | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |\n| (fallback) Relay server | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ |\n\n* While it is possible in Magic Wormhole, establishing a direct connection is very unlikely (as the connection tries to establish a direct TCP connection), quick send uses UDP hole punching instead which is way more reliable and works for most networks.\n\nThe icon of the gui is made with the font [Commodore 64 Rounded](https://online-fonts.com/fonts/commodore-64-rounded) by Devin Cook.","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmaxomatic458%2Fquic-send","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmaxomatic458%2Fquic-send","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmaxomatic458%2Fquic-send/lists"}
