Syncthing?
I don’t think the entire service is open source but I really like https://wormhole.app/
pairdrop.net maybe?
It’s mainly for local network, but you can do internet transfers.
I use this all the time, also nice for text share.
OnionShare is FOSS and transfers files over TOR network.
why not something as basic as sftp?
SFTP should come with your OS. If you’re on *nix, some fiddling around with usergroups is recommended for security reasons.
One of the GUI versions of Magic Wormhole is the best and easiest way. Here’s my favorite https://rymdport.github.io/
If you’re on linux just use scp
rsync
Edit: Or maybe you want a GUI?
I wrote my own. I aimed for a different UX than most services. For my use case I have a few devices that I often share files between. So opening the tool on both devices was a bit annoying. Instead you select the file on the first device and you get a push notification on the other. Then the transfer is done over WebRTC (locally if possible). All communication is done end-to-end encrypted and over your browser’s push service.

This is all i seeI thought Apple implemented push notifications? Or did they just say they would? Either way you can file the bug with them I think.
Or wait until they allow you to install a browser that isn’t dragging it’s feet.
Yeah let me just file a bug report to apple for your app to even display. Ill get right on that
Croc, although it’s command-line only.
Syncthing is also great but may not be what you’re looking for.
In order of personal preference:
scp (sftp)
rsync/openrsync
nfs
host files on an ftp server with ftpd
hosting files on an http server with httpd
FileZilla.
