The
gs-sftp utility is a wrapper script for
gs-netcat. It allows two users to establish a secure SFTP connetion 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-sftp 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 - SFTP Server listening for clients using
password 'MySecret':
$ gs-sftp -s MySecret -l
Connect sftp-client using the same password:
$ gs-sftp -s MySecret
See
gs-netcat(1) for a list of supported
environment variables.

Efforts have been made to have
gs-sftp "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
