What is ffsend?
ffsend is a command-line tool for securely sharing files and directories through encrypted links using the Firefox Send protocol. It enables users to upload and download files up to 1GB with client-side encryption, ensuring privacy and security without relying on the remote host. The tool supports flexible sharing controls like download limits, expiry times, and password protection.
System administrators, developers, and power users who need to share files securely from the command line, especially in automated scripts or headless environments. It's also suitable for privacy-conscious individuals who prefer client-side encryption for file transfers.
Developers choose ffsend for its strong client-side encryption, scriptability with non-interactive flags, and cross-platform support. Unlike many file-sharing tools, it offers local encryption before upload, comprehensive CLI features for automation, and integration with custom Send hosts.
