Can we talk about how utterly absurd it is that there isn’t an obvious answer to this question yet? Feels like we’ve gone backwards from the AIM Direct Connect of old.

What about a torrent? You'll have to encrypt with 7zip or something to keep it secure, but that and qbitorrent will do the trick.

leobakameo OP ,

through the public BitTorrent tracker, I'll try it too, thanks

leobakameo OP ,

while I was looking for ways I came across a list of public announcers https://github.com/ngosang/trackerslist

Pretzilla ,

Qbittorrent or Rutorrent has some kind of extension to allow single private file sharing

Or can a private magnet link accomplish this?

kn33 ,

Idk but I wouldn't risk it when it's easy to encrypt stuff. Good security is done in layers.

For this things i use Simple Web Server

It's just one executable and you have a fully running website with your files ready to download

I recommend https://wormhole.app for the purpose. Drag, drop, leave the tab open.

Haven't used it but it says right on the page you linked only up to 10 GB. Op wants 30 GB, I guess its not possible to split.

I think that limit (previously 5GB) is for files that they'll store for you. Larger transfers are P2P only.

Open the file in a text editor and email the results

It'll still be 30Gb though...

Valmond ,

10minute mails are free, just cut it up.

If all computers are on local network you can use warpinator.

Sync by resilio. I use it between my computers and nas and between my computer and my vps and my nas and my vps, I also use it between my work and personal phone.

Resilio is really good, though I generally prefer Syncthing.

Resilio is hard on memory with larger folders.

rdyoung ,

I've never had an issue but then again I don't use it for much more than movies and TV. If sync thing supports qnap I might check it out but I've been using sync since it was launched (if not soon after).

BearOfaTime ,

ST started as a Linux app, does QNap support things like docker yet? (Been a while since I looked at them).

RS is a great tool - I wouldn't switch if it works for you.

It kills performance on my desktop because it keeps the index in ram for my media folder (10k files?). It's even worse on a phone. But I still say it's a great app, just with a slightly different use-case than ST. It's especially nice for it's On-demand sync.

I'm currently building a new file server, and RS will be included there, even with the performance issues for our phones. On-demand sync is hard to beat.

Syncthing or rsync?

B0rax ,

Syncthing is not a good solution for a one time transfer. It is likely slower as the other solutions here.

Check out QuickDAV. I think it’s exactly what you’re looking for. If you’re going across the internet, you’d have to forward a port from your router. Otherwise, if you’re on the same network, it’s really simple.

I've used warp to transfer fairly large files across the country when I was on vacation

Per rule #3, this seems to be a general home computing question and not centered around self-hosting. Please consider adding details to clarify how this involves self-hosting.

BreakDecks ,

If you can RDP, just copy and paste the file from one computer to the other.

Twinklebreeze ,

Sneakernet was made for this exact situation.
