rsync?

Yes I know this is mainly for browsers.

Yes for browsers it’s cheaper to build upon http, and it let’s you move through airport/hotel/corporate firewalls without problems.

Tus is also used in datacenters for high throughput & reliable transmissions. Probably in most cases rsync is a sensible choice, but sometimes maybe you already have tus, http based auth, loadbalancing, etc in place that you want to leverage, or maybe you want to avoid exchanging ssh secrets
