|
## Details
|
|
|
|
The `distant` binary supplies both a server and client component as well as
|
|
a command to start a server and configure the local client to be able to
|
|
talk to the server.
|
|
|
|
- Asynchronous in nature, powered by [`tokio`](https://tokio.rs/)
|
|
- Data is serialized to send across the wire via [`CBOR`](https://cbor.io/)
|
|
- Encryption & authentication are handled via
|
|
[XChaCha20Poly1305](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8439) for an authenticated
|
|
encryption scheme via
|
|
[RustCrypto/ChaCha20Poly1305](https://github.com/RustCrypto/AEADs/tree/master/chacha20poly1305)

|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
Launch a remote instance of `distant` by SSHing into another machine and
|
|
starting the `distant` executable:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Connects to my.example.com on port 22 via SSH to start a new session
|
|
distant launch my.example.com
|
|
|
|
# After the session is established, you can perform different operations
|
|
# on the remote machine via `distant action {command} [args]`
|
|
distant action copy path/to/file new/path/to/file
|
|
distant action run -- echo 'Hello, this is from the other side'
