Secure filesystem client through via Global
Socket.

The
gs-mount utility is a wrapper script for
gs-netcat. It allows a user to mount and access a filesystem from another user
via the Global Socket Relay Network (GSRN). This is useful in a scenario where
both users are behind NAT/Firewall and unable to connect to each other
directly.
-
-s
secret
- A password chosen by the user. Both users need to use the
same password to connect.
-
-k
FILE
- A file containing the password.
- -l
- Server mode. The default mode is client.
- -R
- Places server (-l) into a read-only mode. Attempts to open
files for writing, as well as other operations that change the state of
the filesystem, will be denied.
- -T
- Use TOR. The gs-mount tool
will connect via TOR to the GSRN. This requires TOR to be installed and
running. The IP and PORT of the TOR server can be set using environment
variables.
See
gs-netcat(1) for more options.
Example 1 - Alice sharing her current directory:
$ gs-mount -s MySecret -l
Bob mounting Alice's directory to ~/gs-alice:
$ gs-mount -s MySecret ~/gs-alice
See
gs-netcat(1) for a list of supported
environment variables.

Efforts have been made to have
gs-mount "do
the right thing" in all its various modes. If you believe that it is
doing the wrong thing under whatever circumstances, please notify me
