croc: Send a file or directory.
$ croc send ${filename_or_directory}
try on your machine

The command "croc send ${filename_or_directory}" is a command for using the tool "croc" to send a file or a directory to another person securely and directly, without the need for cloud storage or complex setups.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "croc" is the name of the tool or program being invoked.
  • "send" is the specific action or sub-command used with "croc" to initiate the sending process.
  • "${filename_or_directory}" is a placeholder for the actual name of the file or directory you want to send. You should replace "${filename_or_directory}" with the path or name of the file/directory you wish to send.

To use this command, you need to have the "croc" tool installed and properly configured. Once executed, the command will initiate the sending process, and the recipient will also need to have the "croc" tool installed and follow the instructions to receive the file or directory.

Overall, this command provides a simple and secure way to transfer files or directories directly to another person, making it convenient for sharing sensitive data or large files.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
