Using Croc, sending/receiving files between Android and desktop has never been easier. Croc is perhaps more appealing to users who prefer not to use apps with names containing the word "worm". Other than that, ordinary users less likely can tell the difference between using Croc, magic-wormhole, or wormhole-william. Unfortunately, Croc for desktop has no gui.

Very simple to install and run. It shows the progress of the copied files.

Awesome. Never saw such a light file sharing software.

What is Croc?

Croc is a command-line utility for secure file and folder transfers between computers. It uses a relay for data transfer, end-to-end encryption through Password Authenticated Key Exchange (PAKE), and allows cross-platform transfers across Windows, Linux, and Mac. It supports multiple file transfers, can resume interrupted transfers, and doesn't require a local server or port-forwarding. It has an IPv6-first approach with IPv4 fallback and can be used with a proxy such as Tor.
