## About

croc web is the browser version of croc, the open-source file transfer tool by Zackary Scholl. It sends files and folders directly between computers with end-to-end encryption based on PAKE, using a short code phrase to pair sender and receiver. Transfers work across networks and are compatible with the croc command-line tool, without user accounts.
