About:
Ffsend is a command-line interface (CLI) tool that enables users to securely upload and share files via the Firefox Send privacy-focused service. It provides end-to-end encryption, ensuring that files remain private and accessible only to those with the generated link. The tool supports features like setting passwords, download limits, and expiration dates for shared files.
Key Features:
  • End-to-end encryption for secure file transfers
  • CLI interface for scripting and automation
  • Password protection and download limits
  • File expiration and deletion controls
Use Cases:
  • Sharing sensitive documents securely with colleagues
  • Automating file uploads in CI/CD pipelines
  • Quickly distributing large files without cloud storage
Alternatives:
  • wetran – Similar CLI tool for WeTransfer, but lacks Firefox Send's end-to-end encryption.
  • croc – Peer-to-peer file transfer tool, better for direct transfers but requires both parties to have the tool.
