encrypted file sharing client
TLDR
Upload file
SYNOPSIS
ffsend command [options] [file|url]
DESCRIPTION
ffsend is a command-line client for Firefox Send, enabling secure file sharing through encrypted uploads. Files are end-to-end encrypted before upload and can be password protected.
The tool generates shareable links that expire after a set number of downloads or time period. Encryption happens client-side, ensuring the server never has access to unencrypted content.
ffsend works with official and self-hosted Send instances for private file sharing.
