Introduction

Canute is an easy and simple program able to transfer multiple files and directories with a single-line command. It does not require to set up any user accounts nor permissions, just hint a command a ready to go.

Canute is already an stable program and it features:

Portable source code: it runs on many operating systems.
Support for up to 128TB (yes, TeraBytes) file size.
Support for resume, after stalled file transfers.
Support for dynamic port selection (avoids NAT problems).
Support for reverse client-server transfers (avoids NAT problems).

Canute Usage

It is as simple as writing a command on the computer from where you want to start the connection and writing another command on the other computer where the connection will be cycled. Consider the following examples:

kone:~$ canute send animatrix.avi wallpapers_folder/

omppu:~$ canute get kone

Sending from computer 'kone' to computer 'omppu' (default port 1122)

kone:~$ canute getserv:6000

omppu:~$ canute sendto:6000 transformers.avi

Sending from 'omppu' to 'kone', but 'kone' acts as the server (port 6000)
