Documentation

Everything you need to use Jumpgate without turning a simple file transfer into a complicated product.

Quick start

Drop files → upload resumes automatically → security scan → share link → automatic deletion

Getting started

Jumpgate is built around one simple flow: upload a file, get a private capability link, share it, and let the transfer disappear automatically.

No account

Browser uploads and Live Drop work without signup or login.

24-hour maximum

No transfer can exist beyond 24 hours from the original upload time.

Uploads

Large transfers use resumable chunks. If your connection drops, Jumpgate continues from the last confirmed offset instead of restarting from zero.

One fileThe file is preserved as-is.

Multiple filesJumpgate packages them into one ZIP, then scans and shares that single transfer.

Maximum uploadOne upload session can contain up to 4 GiB.

Live Drop

Live Drop creates a temporary room for real-time file exchange. Participants see presence, upload progress, scanning state and ready files over WebSockets.

Rooms are destructive

Ending a room deletes its files, active upload sessions, links and download access immediately. Automatic room expiry performs the same cleanup.

Security

Quarantine first

Files are not downloadable while their security scan is running.

ClamAV scanning

Clean transfers become available; rejected scans do not become normal downloads.

Burn after download

Optional mode destroys the transfer after its first completed download.

Storage pressure

New uploads can be stopped before disk usage reaches unsafe levels.

CLI

Install the Jumpgate command-line client and send files directly from a Linux or macOS terminal.
