used magic wormhole for the first time to transfer files between 2 computers in my house and it's great
computer 1:
$ wormhole send myfile.pdf
Wormhole code is: 7-crossover-clockwork
computer 2:
$ wormhole receive 7-crossover-clockwork
Receiving file (7924 bytes) into: myfile.pdf
@b0rk How does this work? Looks like it starts Tor servers on the sending and receiving machine and then uses Tor's protocol to let them auto-handshake and pass the data if the wormhole codes match?
@mtomczak @b0rk By default it uses clearnet, but the Python client does indeed support Tor.
It doesn't yet support Onion services, though, so if you're both using Tor it will use the Transit Relay (everything remains end-to-end encrypted though, in all scenarios).
