For the second test I compressed the directory first as a. It failed and couldn’t open the end zip file. Onionshare appears not to be able to do this. I then tried to do the exact command with a regular directory to see if this would be able to handle it but no go.
ONIONSHARE ENCRYPTION PDF
So, after sending one file, I tried again to send an entire directory containing a screenshot, a PDF and a music file just to see what happened. Try also to use the same share link again. Try now to click the download files button again. Also if you aren’t familiar with Tor, I lost some precious time here as well looking on my computer for the file but it downloads into a ‘tor folder’ it seems so use the browser to go find your file in case it didn’t end up where you expected…what I did was find it, and then control + X it to my local machine from there to do the next steps.
It seems you only get one shot and that it won’t download raw file but only compressed package. In this case it’s probably you for the first test so paste the link into the Tor browser. If you haven’t used a terminal for copying before you’ll need to do control + shift + C (not just control + c) 5. Where filename.txt is whatever file it is you are trying to share. In the terminal, go to where your file is with the CD command and then type: Convert your file into a shareable and anonymous link
ONIONSHARE ENCRYPTION INSTALL
Install Onionshare.Ĭommand line install instructions are in the Ubuntu section here 2. It seems you only get one chance and if you don’t get the files, the link dies and the sender has to start again.zip file, not the raw file which you download to your local device and extract The person on the other side gets the files by entering that link into a tor browser (not a regular browser – won’t work).Onionshare does a bunch of fancy stuff to your file and turns it into a shareable link.
You have to use a command line tool for now.Looking for some extra security, privacy and anonymity whens sending files? This might be a neat solution for you.Ĭurrently it seems the instructions for using this interesting Onionshare technology are not super clear so I’m writing up a quick tutorial so others can save a few minutes and set their expectations correctly.
