About:
MagicWormholeRs is a Rust-based implementation of the Magic Wormhole protocol, designed for secure and simple file transfers between systems. It offers improved performance and reliability over the original Python version, making it ideal for developers and system administrators needing quick, encrypted data exchange.
Key Features:
  • End-to-end encrypted file transfers
  • High-performance Rust implementation
  • Cross-platform compatibility
  • Simple command-line interface
Use Cases:
  • Securely sending sensitive configuration files between servers
  • Quickly transferring large datasets to colleagues on different networks
Alternatives:
  • magic-wormhole (Python) – The original implementation; Rust version offers better performance and memory safety
  • scp – Requires SSH setup and known hostnames; Wormhole uses simple, ephemeral codes
