Hello fellow lemmy users ,

i was wondering whats the best file sharing protocol/app/website , tbh send.vis.ee seems to be currently the best to me but still i wanted your opinion here are things i found

  1. Localsend
  2. ffsend
  3. croc
  4. webtorrent
  5. magic-wormhole
  6. using curl on 0x0.st or pixeldrain
  7. (anonfiles has left so thats sad)
  8. rsync / ssh
  9. onionshare
  10. ipfs

#from what i am hearing , magic-wormhole makes the most sense since they seem to be the most open standard of sharing files but still seems incomplete or the lack of information on such topic makes me feels wierd.

croc seems to have a lot of cve and magic wormhole passed that test from suse’s audit. webtorrent seems to fit in a wierd niche and its implementations like file.pizza arent really that well built ( considering you cant send multi files over there)

i would prefer cli but gui’s as well so that i can send it to somebody else , i would like foss protocol since we can build on that other apps as well , and earlier i used to use shareit which was so bad that literally the govt pulled it because of chinese concerns
currently using localsend but warp (magic-wormhole)/warpinator is also looking good

    Nah I have some services running on unpublished domains and I get hit by brute force attempts at SSH logins all the time. It might not be sane but botnet gonna botnet.

      Oh, same. Though on my current IP it hasn’t happened for a couple years, now.

      But finding an SSH port with an IP crawler is a lot easier than finding all the services accessible behind different paths/subdomains on port 80. And even then, mapping out a site-tree all the way out to uncrackable-password-lenght URLs, is never gonna happen by brute force.
