The Best File Transfer Tool You've Never Heard Of (croc)

Meet croc - a free, open-source CLI tool that might just be the best file transfer tool out there, and in this video we break down exactly why. We walk through the three pillars every good file transfer system needs (fast, secure, simple), show why most tools you already use only hit two of them, and then demo just how easy it is to send files between two machines with croc. We also get into how it actually works under the hood - full-duplex relay transfers, PAKE-based encryption, and even how to self-host your own relay server. 🔗 Relevant Links croc: https://github.com/schollz/croc ❤️ More about us Radically better observability stack: https://betterstack.com/ Written tutorials: https://betterstack.com/community/ Example projects: https://github.com/BetterStackHQ 📱 Socials Twitter:   / betterstackhq   Instagram:   / betterstackhq   TikTok:   / betterstack   LinkedIn:   / betterstack   📌 Chapters: 00:00 Intro 00:33 Why file transfer is still a headache 01:34 The 3 pillars of a great file transfer tool 02:13 Pillar 1: Fast 02:46 Pillar 2: Secure 03:04 Pillar 3: Simple 03:45 How croc nails all three pillars 04:23 Who's running the relay server? 06:15 Live demo: sending files with croc 07:31 Final thoughts
