SYNOPSIS

portal command [options] [args...]

portal is a command-line file transfer utility for sending files between any two computers using temporary passwords. It uses PAKE2 for end-to-end encryption and parallel gzip compression. Portal attempts a direct peer-to-peer connection first, falling back to routing through a relay server when needed.

send FILES...

Send files or directories to another computer.

receive PASSWORD

Receive files using the temporary password displayed by the sender.

serve

Run a relay server.

-r, --relay ADDRESS

Specify a custom relay server address.

-y, --yes

HISTORY
