FOSS File Transfer Program?
Like Localshare but works over the internet?
Any recommendations appreciated
Thanks in advance

pairdrop.net maybe?
It's mainly for local network, but you can do internet transfers.
OnionShare is FOSS and transfers files over TOR network.

One of the GUI versions of Magic Wormhole is the best and easiest way. Here’s my favorite https://rymdport.github.io/
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.

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
@7_Stipend_Jackal Not really sure what you mean by "like Localshare". Is that a specific piece of software, or do you just mean sharing files between two devices on a local network via whatever protocol?
I've played around with croc a while back just to test, seems okay.

Oh, over the Internet, not just the local network ... then maybe Lufi?
for example this instance: https://upload.disroot.org/
Works well, but not particularly fast with large amounts of data (up to 2GB possible)
"File Browser" or "Sharry" allow you to make public links to share files with others BUT you need to run them on a server that is accessible to both parties.
