Croc: Securely Transfer Files Between Any Two Computers Without Port Forwarding

I created croc, a command-line tool that lets you easily and securely send files and folders between any two computers. It features end-to-end encryption using PAKE, works across Windows, Linux, and Mac, and requires no local server or port forwarding. You can even resume interrupted transfers, use proxies like Tor, and run your own relay for complete control over your data.

"AFAIK, croc is the only CLI file-transfer tool that does all of the following: Allows any two computers to transfer data, provides end-to-end encryption, enables easy cross-platform transfers, allows multiple file transfers, and allows resuming transfers that are interrupted."
