Protocol Design: Robust File Transfer (RFT)

Protocol-Design project.

Introduction

Directory structure:

Directory	Purpose
cmd	Contains cli utilities to run a RFT server or client
rft	Contains a reference implementation for RFT written as golang library

Specification

The RFT-specification is written in a separate (currently closed source) repository.

Implementation

This repository provides a reference implementation of RFC written in golang. To run a sample server and client to fetch this File:

go build
./rft -s -t 9090 0.0.0.0 . &
./rft localhost -t 9090  README.md

For more options run ./rft -h.

Implementation test

There's an integration test runner, that executes an rft binary to start a server and executes some test file transmissions. It can be used like this:

go build
./rft bench <rftbinary1> <rftbinary2>

With rftbinary1 and rftbinary2 being 2 implementations which will be tested against each other.
