About:
Portal is a command-line utility that enables secure, peer-to-peer file transfers between computers without requiring complex setup or external servers. It uses end-to-end encryption and generates short-lived, shareable links for easy access. The tool is designed for simplicity, allowing users to quickly send files or directories via a single command.
Key Features:
  • Peer-to-peer file transfers
  • End-to-end encryption
  • No server setup required
  • Cross-platform compatibility
  • Simple command-line interface
Use Cases:
  • Transferring files between personal devices
  • Sharing logs or data in development workflows
  • Quickly moving files in remote or local networks
Alternatives:
  • scp – Requires SSH setup and server access, while Portal works without pre-configured connections
  • Magic Wormhole – Similar peer-to-peer transfer, but Portal focuses on simplicity and minimal dependencies
