Versions:
ffsend 0.2.76 is a command-line utility developed by Tim Visée that enables users to upload and share files through the discontinued Firefox Send service while maintaining the same end-to-end encryption and self-destructing link behaviour that originally distinguished the Mozilla project. Written in Rust for speed and safety, the open-source client supports all major Firefox Send features: files can be password-protected, capped at a chosen download limit, set to expire after a custom number of days, or automatically deleted once the first download occurs. Because the code is self-contained, ffsend can be pointed at any compatible Send-compatible host, letting individuals or organisations resurrect the workflow on private infrastructure. Typical use cases include distributing large binaries from headless servers, sending log archives or database dumps that must not persist, scripting one-off transfers inside CI pipelines, and quickly exchanging documents between remote machines without leaving traces on intermediate cloud storage. The program accepts piped data, so entire directory trees can be streamed into a single encrypted archive with a one-liner, while the built-in inspect, delete and history sub-commands give administrators fine-grained control over every upload. Both 0.2.76 and its predecessor remain available, allowing compatibility with slightly different server APIs. As a lightweight, portable executable, ffsend fits naturally into the File Transfer category of system utilities. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
