p2p - Peer to Peer Data Transfer

Peer to Peer Data Tranfer Protocol

Install

For now, you need to compile it yourself:

git clone https://github.com/ansuman12chat/p2p.git

go install cmd/p2p/main.go

Make sure the $GOPATH/bin is in your PATH variable to access the installed p2p executable.

Usage

The receiving peer runs:

$ p2p receive
Your identity:

	16Uiu2HAm9YBEqaJE1fHt1XXrawCJoMAeYm5sN6nzUGWGMQB4kfb

Waiting for peers to connect... (cancel with strg+c)

The sending peer runs:

$ p2p send my_file
Querying peers that are waiting to receive files...

Found the following peer(s):
[0] 16Uiu2HAm9YBEqaJE1fHt1XXrawCJoMAeYm5sN6nzUGWGMQB4kfb

Select the peer you want to send the file to [#,r,q,?]:

At this point the sender needs to select the receiving peer, who in turn needs to confirm the file transfer.
