Teleporter is a small utility in the vein of netcat to send files quickly from point A to point B. It is more convenient than netcat in that you don't have to run a separate command with file redirection for each file you wish to transfer.
Teleporter lets you pass the destination and a list of files you wish to send and it will create those files with the proper filenames on the receiving end. Each Teleporter binary can act as a client or a server so there's no need to move multiple software packages around.
Teleporter can recursively copy files as well, just pass a directory name and it will copy files all the way down.
Teleporter now does delta file transfers using the Blake3 hashing algorithm for files being overwritten.
The protocol Teleporter implements to transfer files is called Teleport.
Teleporter is a simple application for sending files from Point A to Point B
USAGE:
teleporter [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]
FLAGS:
-h, --help Prints help information
-o, --overwrite Overwrite remote file
-r, --recursive Recurse into directories on send
-V, --version Prints version information
OPTIONS:
-d, --dest <dest> Destination teleporter IP address [default: 127.0.0.1]
-i, --input <input>... List of filepaths to files that will be teleportered [default: ]
-p, --port <port> Destination teleporter Port, or Port to listen on [default: 9001]
To start a teleporter in server (receiving) mode, just run:
./teleporter
or
cargo run
Teleporter will default to listening on 0.0.0.0:9001 for incoming connections.
To start a teleporter in client (sending) mode, run:
./teleporter -d <destination IP> -i <file> [[file2] [file3] ...]
Teleporter will transfer files with their name information as well as their file permissions. Any file path information will be lost. All the received files will be written out in the CWD where the server side was started.
If you have Rust and Cargo installed, Teleporter can be quickly compiled and installed by running the following command:
cargo install teleporter
This will install Teleporter to ~/.cargo/bin/teleporter, which might need to be added to your shell's PATH variable.
