Slightly off topic: I'm a fan of solutions like https://webwormhole.io/ - which lets you send the file directly from one computer to the other via webrtc instead of uploading to a middleman server... at the expense of not being able to generate a link that you can send to someone else and forget about.

I am partial to croc[1] which will send directly on your local network, or encrypted through a relay across the 'net.

For local transfers (mainly between my phone, pc and laptop) I've been using LocalSend, works great.

Of all the P2P file transfer tools I’ve tried (Magic Wormhole, file.pizza, localsend, etc) I’ve had the best luck with croc working under various network configurations.

I use ToffeeShare. It also uses WebRTC for p2p transfer. But it fallbacks to a central server if p2p can't be established (just like a TURN server)

Wouldn’t it need to at least go through the middle man as a relay for webrtc to work? Most people are behind so many layers I don’t see how webrtc could work any other way for the average user.

WebRtc usually manages to punch a hole in my experience (which, to be fair, isn't with particularly hostile network architecture), but I believe it does go through a middle man relay if that fails.
