Fedora 21: Onionshare 0.7.1-1 Update for Secure File Transfers

fedora
Calendar Grey September 10, 2015
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Easily transfer documents using Fedora 21's Onionshare update. New features bolster secure document exchange functions.
Upstream release v0.7.1-1

Summary

OnionShare lets you securely and anonymously share files of any size. It works

by starting a web server, making it accessible as a Tor hidden service, and

generating an unguessable URL to access and download files. It doesn't require

setting up a server on the internet somewhere or using a third party

file sharing service. You host files on your own computer and use a Tor

hidden service to make it temporarily accessible over the internet. The other

user just needs to use Tor Browser to download a file from you.
