File transfer tool

Today I found croc.

Seems neat for file transfer.

Which tool is the best for file transfer?

rsync…

But I’ll bite - why would I use a non native distro tool for a simple task, when other by default included tools already exist?

You could even use netcat if needed:

Use Netcat to Transfer Files – Linux Hint

Netcat is a command-line network tool used to establish TCP/UDP connections and network analysis. Netcat features include outgoing and incoming connections, TCP or UDP, to or from any ports. It can be used to open local ports, supports file transference between devices. Netcat can be used to...

Other cool uses for netcat:

termbin.com - terminal pastebin

Termbin.com is a command line pastebin - easy way to share your terminal output.

Depends how secure I want to be, if not secure

"python3 -m http.server 9000" and wget "http://IPaddress:9000/file"

If secure "scp file.txt [email protected]:/remote/directory"

In windows "Invoke-WebRequest -Uri <source> -OutFile <destination>"

I forget the command for hosting a webserver with powershell off the top of my head.

Rsync all day every day.

Yeah this one (Python Webserver) is always super useful for a quick and dirty transfer mechanism for 2 machines where a) ssh isn't setup b) I couldn't be arsed to move keys around c) I need to do stuff NOWWWW!

fpsync + fpart

Uses rsync in parallel, supposed to be very fast

Fpsync

Fpsync is command line tool for synchronizing directories in parallel using fpart and rsync tools. You can specify a number of concurrent sync jobs, number of files per sync job, and the maximum byte size per sync among other things. Fpsync is believed to be 4 to 5 times faster than rsync...

You can specify a number of concurrent sync jobs, number of files per sync job, and the maximum byte size per sync among other things. Fpsync is believed to be 4 to 5 times faster than rsync. Fpsync makes sense when syncing massive drives with thousands of directories and small files.
