Termux is awesome! I use it for a bunch of things:
- sshing into servers and my home when I'm out and about
- using croc to transfer files
- making videos I'm going to send people smaller with ffmpeg
- downloading stuff with yt-dlp
- giving myself access to the sandbox + /sdcard from other computers by running an ssh server
- scripting phone stuff (like taking photos) with the api
- running weechat locally, which I can then connect to with weechat android
- using vim
- probably a bunch of other things I'm forgetting
-
Using termux for SSH as well. Haven't heard about croc before. Are there advantages over copying files with ssh (scp) for example?
-
The main advantages for me are:
- You don't need to swap ssh keys, which makes it great for setting up new systems I haven't connected to everything else yet (or don't plan to)
- It's cross platform
- The devices don't need to be on the same network (it NAT busts too)
-
-
Does croc relay pass only metadata about the client addresses, or is the data itself sent via the relay?
-
As far as I know the relay just NAT busts, after that it's encrypted p2p.

croc is best to use the android app instead of croc in termux
-
Why install another app when croc is available from termux?
-
That's pretty much where I'm at too, and I find it easier to get to the file(s) I want to send through the cli. No judgement to anyone who prefers the gui though!
