GS-MOUNT(1)		     General Commands Manual		     GS-MOUNT(1)

NAME
     gs-mount -- Secure filesystem client through via Global Socket.

SYNOPSIS
     gs-mount [-lTR] [-s secret] [-k keyfile] [mountpoint]

DESCRIPTION
     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.

OPTIONS
     -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.

EXAMPLES
     Example 1 - Alice sharing her current directory:
	   $ gs-mount -s MySecret -l

     Bob mounting Alice's directroy to ~/gs-alice:
	   $ gs-mount -s MySecret ~/gs-alice

ENVIRONMENT
     See gs-netcat(1) for a list of supported environment variables.

SEE ALSO

BUGS
     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  what-
     ever  circumstances,  please notify me (skyper@thc.org) and tell me how you
     think it should behave.
