title: File Transfer Protocols
|
||||
---
|
||||
ENiGMA½ currently relies on external executables for "legacy" file transfer protocols such as X, Y, and ZModem. The `fileTransferProtocols` section of `config.hjson` is used to override defaults, add new handlers, etc. Remember that ENiGMA½ also support modern web (HTTP/HTTPS) downloads!
|
||||
|
||||
## File Transfer Protocols
|
||||
File transfer protocols are managed via the `fileTransferProtocols` configuration block of `config.hjson`. Each entry defines an **external** protocol that can be used for uploads (recv), downloads (send), or both. Depending on the protocol and handler, batch receiving of files (uploads) may also be available.
|
||||
|
||||
### Predefined File Transfer Protocols
|
||||
The following file transfer protocols are pre-configured in ENiGMA½ as of this writing. System operators may override or extend this list. PRs are welcome for pre-configured additions!
|
||||
|
||||
#### SEXYZ
|
||||
[SEXYZ from Synchronet](http://wiki.synchro.net/util:sexyz) offers a nice X, Y, and ZModem implementation including ZModem-8k & works under *nix and Windows based systems. As of this writing, ENiGMA½ is pre-configured to support ZModem-8k, XModem, and YModem using SEXYZ. An x86_64 Linux binary, and hopefully more in the future, [can be downloaded here](http://132.0.0.249/bbs-linux-binaries/).
|
||||
|
||||
#### sz/rz
|
||||
ZModem-8k is configured using the standard Linux [sz(1)](https://linux.die.net/man/1/sz) and [rz(1)](https://linux.die.net/man/1/rz) binaries. Note that these binaries also support XModem and YModem, and as such adding the configurations to your system should be fairly straight forward.
|
||||
|
||||
Generally available as `lrzsz` under Apt or Yum type packaging.
|
||||
|
||||
### File Transfer Protocol Configuration
|
||||
The following top-level members are available to an external protocol configuration:
|
||||
* `name`: Required; Display name of the protocol
|
||||
* `type`: Required; Currently must be `external`. This will be expanded upon in the future with built in protocols.
|
||||
* `sort`: Optional; Sort key. If not provided, `name` will be used for sorting.
|
||||
|
||||
For protocols of type `external` the following members may be defined:
|
||||
* `sendCmd`: Required for protocols that can send (allow user downloads); The command/binary to execute.
|
||||
* `sendArgs`: Required if using `sendCmd`; An array of arguments. A placeholder of `{fileListPath}` may be used to supply a path to a **file containing** a list of files to send, or `{filePaths}` to supply *1:n* individual file paths to send.
|
||||
* `recvCmd`: Required for protocols that can receive (allow user uploads); The command/binary to execute.
|
||||
* `recvArgs`: Required if using `recvCmd` and supporting **batch** uploads; An array of arguments. A placeholder of `{uploadDir}` may be used to supply the system provided upload directory. If `{uploadDir}` is not present, the system expects uploaded files to be placed in CWD which will be set to the upload directory.
|
||||
* `recvArgsNonBatch`: Required if using `recvCmd` and supporting non-batch (single file) uploads; A placeholder of `{fileName}` may be supplied to indicate to the protocol what the uploaded file should be named (this will be collected from the user before the upload starts).
|
||||
* `escapeTelnet`: Optional; If set to `true`, escape all internal Telnet related codes such as IAC's. This option is required for external protocol handlers such as `sz` and `rz` that do not escape themselves.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Example File Transfer Protocol Configuration
|
||||
```
|
||||
zmodem8kSexyz : {
|
||||
name : 'ZModem 8k (SEXYZ)',
|
||||
type : 'external',
|
||||
sort : 1,
|
||||
external : {
|
||||
sendCmd : 'sexyz',
|
||||
sendArgs : [ '-telnet', '-8', 'sz', '@{fileListPath}' ],
|
||||
recvCmd : 'sexyz',
|
||||
recvArgs : [ '-telnet', '-8', 'rz', '{uploadDir}' ],
|
||||
recvArgsNonBatch : [ '-telnet', '-8', 'rz', '{fileName}' ],
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
