Our Mission

FileBeamr was built to solve a simple problem: transferring files between servers shouldn't require complex SSH key setups, VPN configurations, or third-party services with questionable security practices.

The Problem We Solve

Traditional file transfer methods have significant drawbacks:

• SCP/SFTP: Requires SSH key exchange and proper permissions setup
• FTP: Insecure and requires server configuration
• Cloud Storage: Requires account setup, browser access, and often compromises security
• rsync: Complex syntax and requires SSH access

Our Solution

FileBeamr provides a dead-simple command-line tool that works out of the box. No configuration, no SSH keys, no hassle. Just download the binary and start transferring files securely with password protection and integrity verification.

Security First

Every file transfer is:

• Protected with optional password encryption
• Verified with MD5 checksums to ensure data integrity
• Transmitted over secure HTTPS connections
• Temporarily stored and automatically cleaned up

Who Uses FileBeamr?

System administrators, DevOps engineers, developers, and anyone who needs to quickly move files between servers without the overhead of traditional methods.
