 Rsync is whole software , not 1 file to send someone.   Syncthing is good for among your PCs, again not sending someone 1 file

 What do you mean with "whole software"?
You can and should use rsync to send just 1 file, the command syntax is exactly the same. rsync is a drop-in replacement for scp. scp is just objectively worse in every way.

 Oh ok thanks. I'm happy you spoke up. I thought rsync was just like timeshift for whole disc backup
