- Woof - simply exchange files
Woof (Web Offer One File) tries a different approach. It assumes that everybody has a web-browser or a commandline web-client installed. Woof is a small simple stupid webserver that can easily be invoked on a single file. Your partner can access the file with tools he trusts (e.g. wget). No need to enter passwords on keyboards where you don't know about keyboard sniffers, no need to start a huge lot of infrastructure, just do a<br />
<br />
$ woof filename<br />
and tell the recipient the URL woof spits out. When he got that file, woof will quit and everything is done.
