Sorry @bernhardkaindl , so tran sending files from one computer to any other computer. All communication beyond the initial client handshake is encrypted. If the sender and receiver can reach each other directly, the file transfer involves no servers. Otherwise the file transfer goes through a relay server which facilitates the connection, but sees none of the data. I hope I helped

is everything okay @bernhardkaindl

I think it would be cool to have a more thorough overview of the problem that Tran solves as part of the top of the README.

For example:
"Ever tried transferring files on the terminal between 2 computers? Its a pain! Sometimes SCP can be an easy solution, but often, you dont want to setup an SSH connection. Tran makes it easy by facilitating the connection between 2 computers, without the need for previous knowledge of the other party. Data transfer is completely encrypted and communication is direct between systems, when possible. etc etc...."

Its always important to have a clear and concise explanation of what your project is and the problem that it solves, so people can quickly know if it is the solution for them 👍

I liked it @Awbmilne

Is that possible to refer to the original idea, I dont see such a thing the first time... Or describe ports needed, what is the handshake, who runs the relay.... there is almost nothing written about it! see e.g. magic wormhole...

Is it the same system (or based on) https://github.com/dutchcoders/transfer.sh ? Thank you
