gotit

gotit is a lightweight tool that establishes a secure peer-to-peer connection between an SSH client and an HTTP client. It's designed for quick data transfers without storing any data on the server.

Features

Secure SSH connection
Lightweight HTTP server
Peer-to-peer data transfer
No data storage on the server

Getting Started

To get started with gotit, you'll need to clone the repository and build the project.

git clone https://github.com/AlexEkdahl/gotit.git
cd gotit
make

Usage

You can start the gotit server with the following command:

make run

By default, the HTTP server listens on port 8080 and the SSH server listens on port 2222. You can change these settings using the httpport and sshport flags.

gotit --httpport 8000 --sshport 2200

Sending Data

To send data, establish an SSH connection to the gotit server. Once connected, the server will provide a unique URL for the session. Initiate a file transfer from the SSH client. The data you send will be forwarded to the HTTP client that connects to the provided URL.

ssh sshserver < main.go

cat main.go | ssh sshserver

If you know the file type of the data you're transferring, you can include it as an argument in the command. For example, if you're transferring a JSON file, you can use the following command:

ssh sshserver json < data.json

cat main.go | ssh sshserver go

If you don't specify a file type type in the command, the gotit server will determine the MIME type from the first 512 bytes of the data. If the MIME type cannot be determined from the first 512 bytes, the server will default to application/octet-stream, which represents arbitrary binary data.
