General Software Discussion / Re: Croc: Command-line secure file transfer tool
« on: October 19, 2021, 10:11 PM »
As I was in need of transferring a rather large file (about 400 GByte) from a remote location a problem was encountered. None of the computers I normally use for file transfer is able to cope with such a large file. So, I was tempted to try out croc to transfer the file directly to my workstation.
The remote computer is not a "weakling" by any stretch of imagination (16 GByte RAM, 3 year old Intel Xeon CPU, fast drive), but waiting 7+ hours now for a code to be generated by croc (to actually start the transfer) is rather long. Even when the file is about 400 GByte.
And installing Python on both the remote PC and my workstation just to make Magic WormHole work, seems less than ideal as well.
