## NAME

wormhole-rs - send files to another computer, securely

## DESCRIPTION

wormhole-rs 0.7.0

### USAGE:

-

  wormhole-rs \[OPTIONS\] \<SUBCOMMAND\>

### GENERAL OPTIONS:

- **--relay-server** \<tcp://HOSTNAME:PORT\>

  Use a custom relay server (specify multiple times for multiple relays) \[aliases: relay\]

- **--rendezvous-server** \<ws://example.org\>

  Use a custom rendezvous server. Both sides need to use the same value in order to find each other

- **--force-direct**

  Disable the relay server support and force a direct connection

- **--force-relay**

  Always route traffic over a relay server. This hides your IP address from the peer (but not from the server operators. Use Tor for that)

- **send-many**

  **Send a file to many recipients.**

### send-many OPTIONS:

- **-n**, **--tries** \<N\>

  Only send the file up to n times, limiting the number of people that may receive it. These are also the number of tries a potential attacker gets at guessing the password \[default: 30\]
