What is portal?
Portal is a command-line file transfer utility that enables quick and secure file transfers between computers. It simplifies sending files and folders by generating a temporary password for secure sharing, supporting both direct transfers on local networks and relayed connections over the internet. The tool prioritizes simplicity and security with end-to-end encryption and an intuitive terminal interface.
Developers, system administrators, and technical users who frequently need to transfer files between machines via the command line, especially those working in mixed local and remote network environments. It is suitable for users who prefer terminal-based tools over graphical applications.
Developers choose Portal for its combination of security, flexibility, and user experience: it offers end-to-end encryption via PAKE2, automatic direct transfers when possible (falling back to a relay), and a polished terminal UI with real-time progress. Unlike many alternatives, it allows self-hosting of relay servers and provides extensive shell completions for ease of use.
