Examples

• Client-server example

  # 3 distinct tabs
  python -m filebridging.server --host localhost --port 5000 --certificate ~/.ssh/server.crt --key ~/.ssh/server.key
  python -m filebridging.client s --host localhost --port 5000 --certificate ~/.ssh/server.crt --token 12345678 --password supersecretpasswordhere --path ~/file_to_send 
  python -m filebridging.client r --host localhost --port 5000 --certificate ~/.ssh/server.crt --token 12345678 --password supersecretpasswordhere --path ~/Downloads 
  

• Client-client example

  # 2 distinct tabs
  python -m filebridging.client s --host localhost --port 5000 --certificate ~/.ssh/server.crt --key ~/.ssh/private.key --token 12345678 --password supersecretpasswordhere --path ~/file_to_send --standalone
  python -m filebridging.client r --host localhost --port 5000 --certificate ~/.ssh/server.crt --token 12345678 --password supersecretpasswordhere --path ~/Downloads 
  

  The receiver client may be standalone as well: just add the --key parameter (for SSL-secured sessions) and the --standalone flag.
