NAME

       gs-mount — Secure filesystem client through via Global Socket.

SYNOPSIS

       gs-mount [-lTR] [-s secret] [-k keyfile] [mountpoint]

DESCRIPTION

       The gs-mount utility is a wrapper script for gs-netcat. It allows a user to mount and access a filesystem
       from  another  user  via  the Global Socket Relay Network (GSRN). This is useful in a scenario where both
       users are behind NAT/Firewall and unable to connect to each other directly.

OPTIONS

       -s secret
               A password chosen by the user. Both users need to use the same password to connect.

       -k FILE
               A file containing the password.

       -l      Server mode. The default mode is client.

       -R      Places server (-l) into a read-only mode. Attempts to open files for writing, as  well  as  other
               operations that change the state of the filesystem, will be denied.

       -T      Use  TOR.  The  gs-mount tool will connect via TOR to the GSRN. This requires TOR to be installed
               and running. The IP and PORT of the TOR server can be set using environment variables.

       See gs-netcat(1) for more options.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1 - Alice sharing her current directory:
             $ gs-mount -s MySecret -l

       Bob mounting Alice's directory to ~/gs-alice:
             $ gs-mount -s MySecret ~/gs-alice

ENVIRONMENT

       See gs-netcat(1) for a list of supported environment variables.

BUGS

       Efforts have been made to have gs-mount "do the right thing" in all its various  modes.  If  you  believe
       that it is doing the wrong thing under whatever circumstances, please notify me (skyper@thc.org) and tell
       me how you think it should behave.
