Rusty Wormhole

Get things from one computer to another, safely.

http://magic-wormhole.io/

This is a Rust port of the Python version at https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole.

Comparison with the Python implementation

Features that are missing:

• Text message sending
• Folder sending (we can send folders, but it will send a tar ball which the other side will have to manually unpack)
• Tor support

New features that exceed the other implementations:

• Can do direct connections across the internet (NATs) and firewalls
• Automatically copies your code to the clipboard
• Port forwarding in addition to file transfer (experimental)
• Send a file to multiple people (experimental)
• Fuzzy wormhole code completion

Getting started

If you want to toy with the CLI, cargo run -- --help will get you started. The code sits in ./cli/src. For more instructions see cli/README.md.

If you'd like to use Wormhole in your application, cargo doc --open will tell you how to use it. There aren't any hosted docs at the moment.

If you don't fear touching code and want to contribute, ./src/lib.rs, ./src/transfer.rs and ./src/transit.rs are rather easy to get into. The protocol specification will probably be useful to you.

Applications using Wormhole Rust as library

• Warp, a GUI client using Gtk
• Wormhole File Transfer, a Android client using Flutter
