  • Fixes Issue #809, which caused errors when attempting to send files or folders located on a different drive letter on Windows systems.

does this fix #809? i'm pretty sure #809 can happen even if the out flag is not used

Sure thanks for letting me know.
I will look for other ways, but can you help here with what other cases it might fail in? We can send to a specific directory only with the --out flag, right?

@ymich9963 can provide guidance

Sure I'll try to run it on the same machines and let you know what happens. Do I just use a flag to specify the output or does it get saved in the pwd?

Can you let me know how you specified the output path earlier in this issue #809?

This PR modifies the following -

  • If you are using an --out flag to specify the output, then it first checks if the output path is valid or not, if it is not valid then it saves it in the pwd.
  • If valid, saves in the desired output directory

You can try running the following to receive in a specific directory -
croc --out /path/to/destination <code-phrase>

I don't remember. I don't think I specified. I was just on the E:/ drive in one PC and on the C:/ drive in another. Could you specify the output for croc before I raised the issue? I remember that it would just output to the same directory as the source.
