DashBeam sends files and folders of any size straight from one device to another, end to end encrypted, with no cloud account, no size limits, and nothing parked on a third party server in between. Drop in a file and share it through a short code, a link, or a QR scan; whoever receives it needs no account and can collect it in a plain browser tab with nothing installed. On the same network, nearby machines appear on their own, so pairing two devices and sending between them takes a couple of clicks instead of a cable or a memory stick. Pair a device once and it stays reachable by its identity, so your machines can exchange files from anywhere without swapping fresh tickets every time. Interrupted transfers resume where they stopped, and hopping from Wi-Fi to cellular mid-send does not drop the connection. One share can fan out to several receivers at once, and devices you mark as trusted can accept files automatically, which suits pushing builds, media libraries, or backups around a small fleet. You can preview what is arriving before downloading it, and a local history records every completed transfer. The repository also ships Docker Compose stacks for your own relay and discovery server, so even the encrypted fallback path can run entirely on machines you own.

Terminals, remote desktops, and file browsers for every server you run: Nexterm opens them over SSH, VNC, RDP, Telnet, or SFTP from a self-hosted web page. Servers live in folders with tags and custom icons. Connections open as tabs or split views, keep running across browsers and devices, and can hibernate and resume later. The file manager handles SFTP and FTP: drag files in, upload whole folders, search, and edit in place with syntax highlighting. Live metrics track CPU, memory, disk, network, and processes for each host. Snippets store the commands you retype most. Scripts run whole maintenance jobs. Git repositories added as sources bring ready-made ones filtered by operating system. Organizations share servers through role-based permissions, and every action is logged. Record full terminal sessions for audits and training, or send a shared-session link so a colleague can join, read-only or writable. Authentication covers local accounts with TOTP and passkeys, OIDC providers such as Keycloak, Authentik, and Microsoft Entra ID, and LDAP or Active Directory. Saved passwords, SSH keys, and passphrases stay encrypted at rest. A Proxmox integration lists LXC containers and QEMU virtual machines and can start or stop them. An opt-in AI assistant drafts shell commands from plain-language requests.

Pingvin Share X is your own WeTransfer, running on your server, with none of the transfer limits or expiring-link anxiety of the free tiers. Drop in a file of any size, get a link, and decide exactly how it behaves: an expiration date after which it vanishes, a password gate, a cap on how many visitors may open it, or all three. Email the link straight to recipients from the share dialog, and get notified when they download. Reverse shares flip the flow around: send someone a link and they upload files to you through it, which is perfect for collecting client deliverables, application documents, or the family photo archive without a single email attachment thread. Attachments can be scanned with ClamAV before anyone touches them, and storage lives on your disks or in S3-compatible buckets. Accounts connect through OIDC or LDAP single sign-on for teams, and an extensive admin panel tunes everything from password policy to upload chunk sizes. Registration rules decide whether your instance is a private family tool or an open drop point for your whole crew.

Only the person holding the link can open what you share with SkySend, a self-hosted file and note sharing service that encrypts everything in the browser before it leaves your device. Sending a contract? Drop in the file, several files, or a whole folder, and share the link. Need documents from a client? Send an upload link instead, and whatever comes back is encrypted for you alone. Handing over a password or an SSH key? Write it into a note that burns after reading. Notes can mix text, Markdown, generated passwords, and highlighted code in a single page. Every share can expire by time, stop after a set number of downloads or views, and carry an optional password as a second lock. The command-line client uploads, downloads, and reads notes with the same encryption, and its full-screen mode shows each link as a QR code. No accounts are needed: My Links keeps your shares in the browser, and optional OIDC sign-in limits who may create them. Encrypted uploads sit on local disk or any S3-compatible bucket, and the interface offers 13 languages and three themes.

Upload files, get a share link, let it expire: PsiTransfer is a self-hosted WeTransfer with no accounts, no logins, and no third-party cloud with size caps and metadata harvesting. The engineering focus is large files over imperfect networks. Uploads use the tus.io resumable protocol, so a dropped connection on a multi-gigabyte video resumes exactly where it stopped once you're back online; downloads support HTTP range headers for the same resilience, and everything streams, so file size is bounded by your disk rather than memory. Files organize into upload buckets with retention you control: expire after a set time (up to weeks) or after a one-time download, with automatic cleanup when links lapse. Recipients need nothing installed - they open the link, preview files in modal views, and grab everything as a zip or tar.gz archive with one click. Buckets can be password-protected (AES-encrypted download lists), and security-through-obscurity is done properly: bucket URLs use hashed UUID tokens and stored filenames are replaced with UUIDs. An optional admin page (enabled by setting an admin password) lists bucket information and storage. The Vue.js frontend ships under 100 KB gzipped and is fully responsive. Honest caveat from the author: no end-to-end payload encryption yet. BSD-licensed, Docker-ready.

Upload a file, get a unique download link and a separate delete link - Jirafeau has done exactly this one thing since 2008. It is plain PHP with no database, no mail server, no JavaScript framework, and no external dependencies - files and metadata live on the filesystem, which is why it runs on nearly anything and why it has outlasted most of its imitators. Uploads use the HTML5 file API, so PHP's post_max_size ceiling does not constrain file size, with live progress showing speed, percentage, and time remaining. Every upload takes options: expiration from one minute to a year to unlimited, self-destruct after first download, and password protection with configurable policy - passwords can be optional, required, or server-generated with complexity rules. Server-side encryption (modern builds use XChaCha20-Poly1305) stores files encrypted at rest with the decrypt key embedded only in the download URL, never on the server, so a compromised host cannot read the contents. Unencrypted deployments get file-level deduplication - identical files stored once with multiple links. Upload access can be gated by password lists or IP allowlists, a small admin panel manages stored files, and a CLI cleanup script handles expired files via cron. Recipients can preview supported files in-browser.
