croc: Send and connect over a custom relay.
$ croc --relay ${ip_to_relay} send ${filename_or_directory}
try on your machine

The mentioned command is using the croc tool to send a file or a directory to another device via a relay server. Here's a breakdown of the components:

  • croc: It is the name of the command-line tool being used.

  • --relay ${ip_to_relay}: This option specifies the IP address of the relay server that will be used for the file transfer. A relay server acts as an intermediate server to facilitate direct communication between two devices that may not have a direct network connection.

  • send: It is another option that specifies the action to be performed by croc, which is to send a file or directory.

  • ${filename_or_directory}: It represents the file or directory path that needs to be sent to the target device. You need to replace this placeholder with the actual path of the file or directory you want to transfer.

To use this command, you should replace ${ip_to_relay} with the actual IP address of the relay server you want to use, and ${filename_or_directory} with the path of the file or directory you want to send.

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.
