## Usage
## Usage
To send a file, simply do:
To send a file, simply do:
```
$ croc send [file(s)-or-folder] ```
Sending 'file-or-folder' (X MB) $ croc send [file(s)-or-folder]
Code is: code-phrase Sending 'file-or-folder' (X MB)
``` Code is: code-phrase
```
Then to receive the file (or folder) on another computer, you can just do
Then to receive the file (or folder) on another computer, you can just do
```
$ croc code-phrase ```
``` $ croc code-phrase
```
The code phrase is used to establish password-authenticated key agreement ([PAKE](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password-authenticated_key_agreement)) which generates a secret key for the sender and recipient to use for end-to-end encryption.

There are a number of configurable options (see `--help`). A set of options (like custom relay, ports, and code phrase) can be set using `--remember`.

### Custom code phrase
### Custom code phrase
You can send with your own code phrase (must be more than 4 characters).

### Use pipes - stdin and stdout
### Use pipes - stdin and stdout
You can pipe to `croc`:
You can pipe to `croc`:
```
$ cat [filename] | croc send ```
``` $ cat [filename] | croc send
```
In this case `croc` will automatically use the stdin data and send and assign a filename like "croc-stdin-123456789". To receive to `stdout` at you can always just use the `--yes` will automatically approve the transfer and pipe it out to `stdout`.

```
$ croc --yes [code-phrase] > out ```
``` $ croc --yes [code-phrase] > out
```
All of the other text printed to the console is going to `stderr` so it will not interfere with the message going to `stdout`.

### Send text
### Send text
Sometimes you want to send URLs or short text. In addition to piping, you can easily send text with `croc`:
Sometimes you want to send URLs or short text. In addition to piping, you can easily send text with `croc`:
```
$ croc send --text "hello world" ```
``` $ croc send --text "hello world"
```
This will automatically tell the receiver to use `stdout` when they receive the text so it will be displayed.
This will automatically tell the receiver to use `stdout` when they receive the text so it will be displayed.
### Self-host relay
The relay is needed to staple the parallel incoming and outgoing connections. By default, `croc` uses a public relay but you can also run your own relay: ### Use a proxy
``` You can use a proxy as your connection to the relay by adding a proxy address with `--socks5`. For example, you can send via a tor relay:
$ croc relay
``` ```
$ croc --socks5 "127.0.0.1:9050" send SOMEFILE
By default it uses TCP ports 9009-9013. Make sure to open those up. You can customized the ports (e.g. `croc relay --ports 1111,1112`), but you must have a minimum of **2** ports for the relay. The first port is for communication and the subsequent ports are used for the multiplexed data transfer. ```
You can send files using your relay by entering `--relay` to change the relay that you are using if you want to custom host your own. ### Self-host relay
``` The relay is needed to staple the parallel incoming and outgoing connections. By default, `croc` uses a public relay but you can also run your own relay:
$ croc --relay "myrelay.example.com:9009" send [filename]
``` ```
$ croc relay
Note, when sending, you only need to include the first port (the communication port). The subsequent ports for data transfer will be transmitted back to the user from the relay. ```
#### Self-host relay (docker) By default it uses TCP ports 9009-9013. Make sure to open those up. You can customized the ports (e.g. `croc relay --ports 1111,1112`), but you must have a minimum of **2** ports for the relay. The first port is for communication and the subsequent ports are used for the multiplexed data transfer.
If it's easier you can also run a relay with Docker: You can send files using your relay by entering `--relay` to change the relay that you are using if you want to custom host your own.
```
``` $ croc --relay "myrelay.example.com:9009" send [filename]
$ docker run -d -p 9009-9013:9009-9013 -e CROC_PASS='YOURPASSWORD' schollz/croc ```
```
Note, when sending, you only need to include the first port (the communication port). The subsequent ports for data transfer will be transmitted back to the user from the relay.
Be sure to include the password for the relay otherwise any requests will be rejected.
#### Self-host relay (docker)
```
$ croc --pass YOURPASSWORD --relay "myreal.example.com:9009" send [filename] If it's easier you can also run a relay with Docker:
```
Note: when including `--pass YOURPASSWORD` you can instead pass a file with the password, e.g. `--pass FILEWITHPASSWORD`. ```
$ docker run -d -p 9009-9013:9009-9013 -e CROC_PASS='YOURPASSWORD' schollz/croc
