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

NAME
     gs-sftp -- Secure File Transfer Protocol via Global Socket.

SYNOPSIS
     gs-sftp [-lTR] [-s secret] [-k keyfile]

DESCRIPTION
     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/Fire-
     wall 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-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.

EXAMPLES
     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

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

SEE ALSO

BUGS
     Efforts have been made to have gs-sftp "do the right thing" in all its var-
     ious  modes. If you believe that it is doing the wrong thing under whatever
     circumstances, please notify me (skyper@thc.org) and tell me how you  think
     it should behave.
