This is a similar tool, but it's more like a Swiss Army knife: https://github.com/nuwainfo/ffl

It's very cool! I am planning add Iroh into my daily used https P2P tool (https://github.com/nuwainfo/ffl) which currently using WebRTC. It's very cool to support both protocols, but it seems like Iroh python support is via FFI which can't be used in my APE (Actual Portable Executable) build...thinking...

maybe encrypt in localhost then send to another securely is another option? https://github.com/nuwainfo/ffl also decrypt using webcryto

For those interested in a detailed technical comparison with tools like croc or Magic Wormhole, I've written a breakdown here: https://fastfilelink.com/static/blog/cli-comparison.html

I mirrored the directly downloadable files from the May 2026 war.gov UFO/UAP Release 01 into a single browser-friendly download pack.

Includes 158 files: 116 PDFs, 28 MP4s, 14 images, plus source URLs, SHA-256 checksums, and a start-here guide.

This is not an analysis of the contents; it is just a convenience archive.

I understand that some kind people here may have already packaged similar resources, but I’m simply offering another channel in the hope that it can be helpful to everyone. :)

New comment by bear330 in "Termux"

bear330 — Mon, 02 Feb 2026 13:20:08 +0000

I also really like Termux. When I was developing https://github.com/nuwainfo/ffl (a tool similar to croc, but the receiver uses a browser and doesn't need to install anything), it was because I wanted an easy way to get things off my phone. I actually packaged ffl—which is pure Python—into an APE just to make it compatible with Termux. Although many people here use ssh, rsync, or solutions like copyparty, I prefer my own minimalist solution: just one binary to transfer whatever I want. Anyway, Termux is cool.

I actually wrote a section about this here: https://github.com/nuwainfo/ffl?tab=readme-ov-file#porting-t.... In short, I used superconfigure the project’s ported Python APE, rewrote all C extensions into Python APE as built-in extensions, modified libraries like aiortc to use them, and finally resolved several tricky porting issues across platforms. It was a tough process, but I managed to get it working successfully :)

Oh, in this demo the right panel is just simulating the co-worker. In a real case, I would send the link to him via IM (for example, Slack). Since this is only a demo, I’m playing both roles myself. :p

Hi HN,

I've been using Claude Code (CLI) heavily, but I hit a major friction point: When Claude generates artifacts locally (like a specific SQLite dump, build logs, or a patch), it has no easy way to "hand" them to a coworker.

I didn't want to upload sensitive local files to a third-party cloud (S3/Drive) just to send a temporary file to a teammate sitting virtually next to me.

So, I built an MCP server (ffl-mcp) that gives Claude the capability to share files directly via P2P.

The Workflow:

1. I ask Claude: "Zip the logs and send them to Bob."

2. Claude uses the tool to generate a one-time P2P link.

3. My coworker clicks the link to download immediately (streaming transfer, E2EE).

Under the hood:

It wraps ffl [0], a CLI tool I built for NAT traversal (WebRTC, relay if failed). (I packaged the core tool as an "Actually Portable Executable" so it runs as a single binary across platforms without Python environment headaches).

It's open source and you can try it with uvx: https://github.com/nuwainfo/ffl-mcp

bear330 — Mon, 15 Dec 2025 16:02:39 +0000

I'm working on ffl (https://github.com/nuwainfo/ffl), an Actually Portable Executable (APE) that turns any file or folder into a secure P2P HTTPS link via WebRTC.

Like llamafile, it's built on Cosmopolitan Libc. Getting the full Python stack + WebRTC to run as a single APE binary was incredibly tricky to pull off, but the result is super convenient. I mainly built it to solve the pain of moving large files (logs, DB dumps) in and out of containers—now it's just one command.

The repo has a demo showing a round-trip transfer between Windows (x64) and Android (arm64) using the same binary. I hope you give it a try!

bear330 — Sun, 14 Dec 2025 02:12:56 +0000

I built a file sharing CLI called ffl which is also an APE built on Cosmopolitan Libc, just like llamafile.

Since llamafiles can be quite large (multi-GB), I built ffl to help 'ship' these single-file binaries easily across different OSs using WebRTC. It feels natural to pair an APE transfer tool with APE AI models.
