hyp beam

Send a stream of data over the network.

hyp beam [passphrase]

The beam command is a general-purpose tool for sending data over the network according to a secret passphrase. You choose a phrase (try to make it hard-ish to guess!) and then share the phrase with your recipient. The phrase is only good for 30-60 minutes.

On the sending device:

cat hello.txt | hyp beam "for bob roberts"

On the receiving device:

hyp beam "for bob roberts" > ./hello.txt

This can be really useful for sharing hyper keys between devices. For instance:

> hyp sync ./my-folder
