fft is a distributed file transfer tool designed to accelerate large file movement by coordinating multiple relay nodes in parallel rather than depending on a single server’s bandwidth ceiling. Its architecture splits a transfer into concurrent “workers” that fetch or push chunks across multiple paths, improving throughput on high-latency or bandwidth-constrained links. The project is implemented in Go and exposes a straightforward command-line interface so operators can stand up senders, receivers, and relays with minimal ceremony. Because it’s oriented around relays, it can better utilize geographically diverse infrastructure and avoid bottlenecks at any one egress point. The issue tracker highlights active concerns such as congestion control with many workers and IPv6 support, signaling performance-minded design goals. Overall, fft aims to give teams a fast, resilient way to move big artifacts using parallelism at the network edge.
