NetFetch 2.0.1

Networked file storage and retrieval with optional password protection using Redis.

Files are stored with a key of originating hostname and an absolute path to filename.

Files may be stored with a password, in which they are encrypted and the same password must be used to retrieve the data.

Storage

Store files using netFetchPut.

Usage: netFetchPut (options) [absolute filename]

Stores a given file in NetFetch, optionally password-protecting it as well.

Options:

--password

Prompt for password on storing this file

—password-file=fname Read password from a given filename instead of tty. Implies –password.

--no-preserve

Do not store owner/group/mode information

—config=/path/x.txt Use provided config for redis. Default is to look in /etc/netfetch.cfg

--old-format

Use Version 1.0 format (base64-encoded) instead of directly encoded. This is much slower, but added because 1.0 data format is incompatible with older formats.

Provided filename must be an absolute path.

Example: netFetchPut /Data/myfile.db

Retrieval

Retrieve files using netFetchGet

Usage: netFetchGet (options) [hostname] [filename] [output filename]

Downloads a file uploaded from hostname, given an absolute filename.

If “output filename” is “–”, output will be to stdout.

Options:

--password

Prompts for password. If file is encrypted, a password must be provided.

—password-file=fname Read password from a given filename instead of tty. Implies –password.

--no-preserve

Do not apply stored attributes (owner/group/mode)

—config=/path/config.cfg Use provided config for redis. Default is to look in /etc/netfetch.cfg

--old-format

Use Version 1.0 format (base64-encoded) instead of directly encoded. This is much slower, but added because 1.0 data format is incompatible with older formats.

Provided filename must be an absolute path.

Example: netFetchGet filestore01 /Data/myfile.db
