OnionShare
Syncthing?
pairdrop.net maybe?
It’s mainly for local network, but you can do internet transfers.
I use this all the time, also nice for text share.
I don’t think the entire service is open source but I really like https://wormhole.app/
OnionShare is FOSS and transfers files over TOR network.
why not something as basic as sftp?
SFTP should come with your OS. If you’re on *nix, some fiddling around with usergroups is recommended for security reasons.
If you’re on linux just use scp
rsync
Edit: Or maybe you want a GUI?
One of the GUI versions of Magic Wormhole is the best and easiest way. Here’s my favorite https://rymdport.github.io/
I wrote my own. I aimed for a different UX than most services. For my use case I have a few devices that I often share files between. So opening the tool on both devices was a bit annoying. Instead you select the file on the first device and you get a push notification on the other. Then the transfer is done over WebRTC (locally if possible). All communication is done end-to-end encrypted and over your browser’s push service.

This is all i seeI thought Apple implemented push notifications? Or did they just say they would? Either way you can file the bug with them I think.
Or wait until they allow you to install a browser that isn’t dragging it’s feet.
Yeah let me just file a bug report to apple for your app to even display. Ill get right on that
In order of personal preference:
scp (sftp)
rsync/openrsync
nfs
host files on an ftp server with ftpd
hosting files on an http server with httpd
Croc, although it’s command-line only.
Syncthing is also great but may not be what you’re looking for.
FTP
