Support sending multiple files in the same trasnfer

Right now you can send a full directory, but there's no way to just a few files, it'd be great if wormhole send a.txt b.txt c.txt could work seamlessly.

For sure. My plan is to enhance the protocol to let you open the connection first, then add more files for sending (from either end) as long as the connection stays open. This would support a GUI drag-and-drop application much better. In this mode, we'll just establish the connection and then queue up everything in sys.argv[1:] for delivery.

Hi @warner, is there any GUI for this tool? If not do we any plan for the same?

P.S. Thanks for this amazing tool. 🎉

I too would really like this feature. Does wormhole take files from stdin too? Could be useful to pipe tar or any other stream-based output into it. In fact using this would it almost be possible to setup a simple server-type scenario like a simple peer-to-peer character
socket?

the good old linux way is tar these files to stdout and pipe it to wormhole. on the receiver end, untar these files from stdin. wormhole currently supports stdin/stdout, but the NEWS.md in 2015 states it adds unnecessary newlines. Is it still the case?

Can tar balls be created on the fly? Because packaging the files first is not practicable when sending multiple Gigabytes of data. Also, if it takes some time to build the tar ball, turnaround time after a connection interruption or wrong password is significantly longer.
