Ffsend

ffsend is a command line client for the Firefox Send protocol, providing a secure file transfer tool for uploading and downloading encrypted files. It serves as a client-side encryption file share that ensures data is encrypted locally before being uploaded to a remote server.

The tool is compatible with both public and private instances of the Send server, allowing users to redirect data transfers to self-hosted server deployments.

It covers ephemeral file hosting with the ability to set expiration dates and download limits, as well as password protection for shared links. Additional capabilities include directory archiving for uploads, local transfer history tracking, and non-interactive modes for automated file uploads via scripts.

    Send is a self-hosted file transfer service designed for end-to-end encrypted file sharing. It provides a privacy-focused data transfer solution and ephemeral file storage where uploaded content is automatically deleted after a specified number of downloads or a set amount of time. The service ensures private file sharing by utilizing client-side encryption to protect data before it is uploaded. Decryption keys are distributed to recipients via URL hash fragments to ensure the server never has access to the keys. The platform supports encrypted data transfer and temporary file hosting.

    Yopass is a secure secret sharing platform used to share encrypted text and files via one-time expiring links. It utilizes client-side encryption to ensure that sensitive data is encrypted in the browser before transmission, preventing the server from seeing plain text. The platform differentiates itself through an integrated security auditing system that generates structured logs and triggers cryptographically signed webhooks when secrets are created, viewed, or expired. It also features an access control system based on OpenID Connect, allowing administrators to restrict secret creation and

    Send is an end-to-end encrypted file sharing service that encrypts files on the sender's device before upload, ensuring the server never sees plaintext content. It generates secure download links that are designed for single use, automatically removing access after the first successful download, and associates each share with a time-limited access token that expires after a set duration. The service operates without requiring user accounts, lowering friction for ephemeral sharing, and uses cryptographic key derivation to generate decryption keys from the download URL, eliminating server-side

    PrivateBin is a self-hosted, zero-knowledge text hosting service and secret sharing tool. It utilizes browser-based AES 256-bit encryption to ensure that data is encrypted on the client side before transmission, meaning the hosting server cannot read or recover the original content. The project distinguishes itself by using URL fragments to distribute decryption keys, preventing the secret key from ever being sent to the server. It supports the distribution of both encrypted text and files, which are compressed and encrypted locally prior to storage. The platform includes capabilities for an
