croc: Receive a file or directory on receiving machine.
$ croc ${passphrase}
try on your machine
The command croc ${passphrase}
in a Unix-like or Linux environment is using the croc
command-line tool to send files securely over the internet using end-to-end encryption.
Here, ${passphrase}
is a placeholder for a passphrase, which is a secret word or phrase that acts as the key to encrypt and decrypt the files being transferred.
By including the passphrase within the command, the croc
tool will use it to encrypt the files on the sender's side and prompt the receiver to enter the same passphrase to decrypt the files on their side. This ensures that only the intended recipient with the correct passphrase can access the transferred files.
