Find the right way to transfer your files
For:All users
No technical knowledge required.People rarely begin with “I need peer-to-peer file streaming.” More often, a video is too large for email, a complete folder must reach another computer, or a private collection should not be uploaded somewhere merely to be downloaded again. These guides start with those real tasks, keep the familiar verbs people use—send, share, move, and transfer—and explain where WolfP2P's live streaming method fits.
The current connection configuration uses host candidates only, with no STUN traversal between separate private networks and no TURN relay. A shared or otherwise directly reachable network can work, subject to browser and network policy; remote reachability is not guaranteed.
WolfP2P connects two computers for a live browser-to-browser handoff. Both stay online while the files move, and WolfP2P's server does not receive or store the file bytes.
Does a live direct transfer fit?
WolfP2P fits when
One person can send while one person receives. Both computers can stay online and awake during the transfer. You want the files to travel directly rather than wait on a hosted download page. You can use compatible browsers and networks that permit a direct connection.
Choose another method when
The receiver must download later while the sender is offline. Several people need the same persistent link. You need automatic synchronization, unattended delivery, backup, or public hosting. Your organization requires managed identities, access logs, retention controls, or another governed delivery system.
Start with the problem you need to solve
My file is too large for email
Work around an attachment limit without installing a transfer application or uploading the file somewhere first.
I need to send a complete folder
Keep nested files together without selecting them individually or making a temporary ZIP archive.
I want to preserve the original media quality
Deliver a 4K, 8K, or other original video file without compression, transcoding, or resizing.
I am moving to another computer
Move selected personal folders directly from the old computer without using cloud storage or a temporary external drive.
I need to transfer something private
Limit intermediary copies and understand the invitation, recipient-verification, endpoint, and organizational-control boundaries.
Choose the situation closest to yours. Each specialized guide identifies the browser, destination-space, recovery, availability, and trust boundaries relevant to that task.

Customer folders for computer technicians
Include customer authorization, destination verification, and service-record considerations in a technician-assisted move.
Family photo and video archives

Music libraries
Distinguish unchanged audio files and tags from playlists, application databases, and machine-specific paths.
Course and webinar libraries
Keep recordings, captions, slides, and module folders together without turning a private handoff into learner distribution.
Complete creative projects
Move photography, video, design, or audio assets that must retain their working folder structure.
One-time server-file handoffs
Decide when a supervised browser transfer can avoid FTP setup and when SFTP or managed automation is the correct tool.
