Send and receive files

Transfer files directly between peers, without bringing up a VPN interface.

Sending and receiving files

EdgeVPN can be used to send and receive files between hosts via p2p with the file-send and file-receive subcommand.

Sending and receiving files, as services, don’t establish a VPN connection.

Sending

$ edgevpn file-send --name unique-id --path /src/path

Receiving

$ edgevpn file-receive --name unique-id --path /dst/path
