Mist.sh is a shell implementation for syncing private directories via an untrusted remote SSH server. This script served as the portable prototype for a Rust implementation which can be found here.
The script will read the following variables from the environment:
LOCAL_DIR the directory in your home folder to sync
GPG_RECIPIENT - your gpg id
SSH_ADDRESS - the remote SSH address
Example:
$ LOCAL_DIR=sync SSH_ADDRESS=user@host.com GPG_RECIPIENT=your@email.com mist.sh [OPTIONS]
If no options are passed, the default action is to sync the local folder with the remote archive.
--push
Create an encrypted tar.gz of your directory and copy it to the remote host.
--pull
Copy the encrypted tar.gz diretory on the remote host to the local machine.
--batch
Run with no user interaction
