Installation

To run the executable directly:

  1. Go to releases and download the correct file for your platform.
  2. Extract it (on Linux: tar xf <file>).
  3. Run it: ./gday

To install with cargo:

$ cargo install gday

To install with brew:

$ brew install manforowicz/tap/gday

Features

  • File transfer is always direct, without relay servers. A server is only used to exchange socket addresses at the beginning.

  • No limit on the size of files and folders sent.

  • Doesn't require port forwarding. Instead, uses TCP Hole Punching to traverse NATs. Note: this may not work on very restrictive NATs.

  • Server connection encrypted with TLS and file transfer encrypted with ChaCha20Poly1305.

  • Automatically tries both IPv4 and IPv6.

  • Immune to malicious servers impersonating your peer. Uses SPAKE2 password authenticated key exchange to derive an encryption key from a shared secret.

  • No unsafe Rust in this repository.
