NAME

fclient - interact with a Freenet node

SYNOPSIS

fclient get URI [file]
fclient put URI file
fclient putsite URI file...
fclient genkeys
fclient computechk [file]

DESCRIPTION

fclient is a command line front end to the Freenet reference libraries. A number of different commands are available:

get

requests URI from Freenet. Data is written to file, if specified, and to stdout otherwise.

put

inserts data into Freenet under URI. The data is to insert is read from file if specified, or stdin otherwise. An URI of CHK@ will automatically compute the right content hash key to insert under. Other key types (KSK, SSK) are handled by inserting the data under the correct CHK first, and then putting a redirect under the choosen key.

putsite

inserts a number of files into Freenet, and puts a map to them under URI. Each file can be later retrieved via URI//file

genkeys

generates a key pair and prints it to stderr.

computechk

reads file if specified or stdin otherwise, and generates a content hash key for it.

OPTIONS

--htl hops: Set the maximum number of hops this request will travel.

--noredirect: Do not follow or create redirects.

-m, --metadata file: Read metadata from file (for put).

--FCPServerAddress host:port: Contact the specified address instead of localhost at port 8481.

--manual: Output a HTML page describing this command.

-h, --help: Show usage summary.

-v, --version: Show the version of this command.

EXAMPLES

fclient get [email protected]

requests the key [email protected] and (if found) prints it to stdout.

fclient put KSK@photos/wildlife/boar01.jpg boar01.jpg

inserts the file boar01.jpg into Freenet under the key KSK@photos/wildlife/boar01.jpg

fclient putsite SSK@fjMa1OjeC8ghxtnuyRSMHXzom6o/foo index.html logo.jpg links.html

inserts the three files into Freenet, so that they are accessible as SSK@Ex7oc7ZiVTF9G~N-yLG2a73eeOgPAgM/foo//index.html SSK@Ex7oc7ZiVTF9G~N-yLG2a73eeOgPAgM/foo//logo.jpg SSK@Ex7oc7ZiVTF9G~N-yLG2a73eeOgPAgM/foo//links.html respectively. Note that inserting is done with the private key (fjM...m6o), while requesting relies on the public key (Ex7...AgM).
