fs-cli

fs-cli is multi-threaded CLI app written in Golang to transfer multiple files concurrently via WebRTC.

It is peer-to-peer (P2P), so there are no servers in middle. However, Google's STUN server is used to retrieve information about public address and the type of NAT clients are behind. (Transfer of files does not happen through Google servers.)

This information is used to setup a Peer Connection between clients. After connecting, each file is assigned a WebRTC Data-Channel for streaming. And the transfer happens concurrently over all Data-Channels.

You can also find your public IP address via WebRTC. (See Usage Below)

fileshare.mp4

Currently only tested on Linux.
