Repository files navigation

Highlights (aka "Why making another file-transfer tool?"):

• Designed for personal use; no need to copy-paste a token / code for each transfer
• Rendezvous service runs distributively onserverless edge function,a robust solution with low latency worldwide. (How does this work?)

Other features:

• End-to-end encryption (ChaCha20-Poly1305)
• P2P connection: LAN or WAN, with NAT transversal
• Compression (gzip)
• Cross platform: Linux, macOS, Windows
• Support transfering multiple files and directories
• OptionalTailscale integration

On any of your machine, run

curl -fsS https://acp.deno.dev/get| sh

It sets up the current machine by downloading an executable and generating an identity.By default the install path is/usr/local/bin; you can change it bycurl -fsS 'https://acp.deno.dev/get?dir=/path/to/bin' | shAt the end, it prints out the command for setting up your other machines.You can runacp --setup any time you want to see the command.

Currently there is no installation script for PowerShell (PR welcomes :)You can download the released executable and put it on yourPath.Then runacp --setup to generate an identity.

# senderacp path/to/files# receiver, to $(pwd)acp# or receive to/as specified targetacp -d path/to/target

You can run the sender and receiver in arbitrary order.Whenever both sides are up and running, they will attempt to establish a P2P connection.If you see messages such asrendezvous timeout, at least one side is behind a firewall or a strict NAT that prohibits P2P connection.

Don't judge a tool based on its apparent set of features.This table only lists a few features, intending to differentiate the target scenarios of these tools.

Apart from the dependencies listed ingo.mod, this project is also built upon

• Deno Deploy exposes low-level connection infomation and provides a fantasticBroadcastChannel API that makes "serverless" TCP hole-punching possible
• mholt/archiver: tar/untar implementation
• libp2p/go-reuseport: address reuse for TCP hole-punching
• egoist/bina: installation script
• Tailscale, as one of the connection option, provides a painstaking implementation of NAT traversal and a distributive relay service
