gfile
Direct peer-to-peer file transfer between computers using WebRTC without third-party servers.
What is gfile?
GFile is a command-line file exchange tool that uses WebRTC to establish direct peer-to-peer connections between two computers. It enables secure file transfers without relying on intermediate servers for data transit, ensuring privacy by eliminating the need for cloud storage or third-party file-sharing services.
Developers and technical users who need to transfer files directly between two machines with a focus on privacy and minimal infrastructure, such as those working in secure environments or preferring CLI tools over web-based services.
Developers choose GFile for its strict peer-to-peer architecture where data never passes through a server, leveraging WebRTC for efficient transfers. Its simple CLI interface and use of base64 SDP for connection setup offer a lightweight, secure alternative to traditional file-sharing methods.
