Magic Wormhole is a tool to easy way to send data (a file or a directory) between a local computer and rhea. You need shell access on both the sender and receiver, but the computers can be on separate networks each behind their own firewalls.

# get homebrew and python on MacOS if needed
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
brew install python 
 
# get magic-wormhole
python -m pip install magic-wormhole
command -v wormhole # confirm 'wormhole' is in PATH. see 
                    #  pip show -vf magic-wormhole|grep -P 'Location:|/wormhole$'
                    # add to ~/.zshrc:  export PATH="$PATH:$path_from_above"

Or download and run rymdport for a stand alone graphical interface!

see https://magic-wormhole.readthedocs.io/en/latest/welcome.html#example

1. local: wormhole send $file
2. rhea: wormhole recive $code

wormhole-william is a compatible implementation provided as a single binary (written in golang) that will be easier to install if you do not already have python available locally (avoids pip install magicwormhole).

For a graphical interface see rymdport, a single binary GUI implementation.

also see Remote Access

• croc is nearly identical in usage to wormhole but can send globs of files instead of just a file or a directory
• trzsz uses tmux (built into iterm2) as the transfer protocol. must have ssh access from local to host. provides GUI file picker.
• globus ideal for very large transfers to e.g PSC or CRC
• sshfs, rsync
• syncthing
• ipfs, tor, i2p
