From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Termux is awesome! I use it for a bunch of things:
Using termux for SSH as well. Haven't heard about croc before. Are there advantages over copying files with ssh (scp) for example?
The main advantages for me are:
Does croc relay pass only metadata about the client addresses, or is the data itself sent via the relay?
As far as I know the relay just NAT busts, after that it's encrypted p2p.
croc is best to use the android app instead of croc in termux
Why install another app when croc is available from termux?
That's pretty much where I'm at too, and I find it easier to get to the file(s) I want to send through the cli. No judgement to anyone who prefers the gui though!
