wormhole-tx 1.0.7

Front end for wormhole, easier and more secure!

tx

Easiest way to send files:

Install

pip install wormhole-tx

Run

tx myfile.mp4
# Then follow the directions

This will generate a magic-wormhole command that you can use on the receiving end.

Background

magic-wormhole is even more powerful when properly tuned. wormhole-tx gives saner defaults and is more secure with a larger key. The command to run on the receiving end will auto-accept the file and wait for it to begin.

Additionally, the receiving command is generated at the beginning instead of the end of the archive building phase. This makes the command quicker to run since you can immediately connect the client to the sender.

Install

git clone ... . ./install . ./activate.sh

To develop software, run . ./activate.sh

Windows

This environment requires you to use git-bash.

Linting

Run ./lint.sh to find linting errors using pylint, flake8 and mypy.
