The castcopy project implements file copy operations for the Linux platform using UDP over multicasted IP networks. OverviewThe castcopy project is an attempt at creating multicast file transfer ... [More] software for Linux. It is written in perl, and coincidentally, is the author's first foray into the perl language. The project consists of a perl module (lib/CastCopy.pm) providing functionality to the programs visible at the user-level: cast, and get-cast. DetailsDownloadscastcopy 0.1 InstallationDownload the latest archive from above. Proceed with the following steps: Extract the archive: tar jxf castcopy-0.1.tar.bz2 Build it: cd castcopy-0.1 perl Makefile.PL && make && make test Install it, as root (sudo is fine): make install Setup a standard configuration: cp config/castcopy.cfg /etc/castcopy.cfg chmod 644 /etc/castcopy.cfg ConfigurationThe standing configuration can be changed by editing the /etc/castcopy.cfg file. The example castcopy.cfg file is reproduced and explained here. [net] data_address=239.1.1.1 data_port=22000 control_address=239.1.1.1 control_port=22001 [options] blocksize=1024The data_address and data_port lines control the IP address and port number used for the data portion of castcopy. The data portion of castcopy contains the actual file contents being transferred over the network. The control_address and control_port lines control the IP address and port number used for the control portion of castcopy. The control portion of castcopy contains the commands and information necessary for cast clients to extract files relayed by the sender. Finally, the blocksize line controls the payload of each UDP packet. The maximum payload of a UDP packet is 65507 bytes. The default here is 1024 bytes. Be aware that the packets will be segmented according to MSS, or Maximum Segment Size, for a given network. Usagecast: transfers files from the sending machine to the network address specified in the configuration file /etc/castcopy.cfg, or alternatively, a file specified with the --config option. get-cast: receives files from the network address specified in the configuration file /etc/castcopy.cfg, or alternatively, a file specified with the --config option. Each program consists of a number of options. The options for cast are as follows (from cast --help): Usage: /usr/bin/cast [OPTION]... [FILENAME] Send FILENAME to the multicast channel. Example: /usr/bin/cast /home/nick/.bashrc Options: --help, -H Displays this help. --verbose, -V Verbose mode. --config, -C Configuration file, defaults to '/etc/castcopy.cfg'.The options for get-cast are as follows (from get-cast --help): Usage: /usr/bin/get-cast [OPTION]... [FILENAME] Get FILENAME from the multicast channel. Example: /usr/bin/get-cast /home/nick/.bashrc Options: --help, -H Displays this help. --verbose, -V Verbose mode. --config, -C Configuration file, defaults to '/etc/castcopy.cfg'. --no-overwrite, -NO Prevent overwriting existing files. --md5-overwrite, -MO Overwrite when MD5 checksums differ. Advanced Options: --localfile (-L) [FILENAME]: Override filename in cast with the specified filename. --iteration (-I) [1-n]: Defines the number of iterations get-cast will execute searching for the specified file before giving up.Two specific options are of importance. The --md5-overwrite option can be used to allow file download to only occur when the checksum of an incoming file is different. The desired effect being that downloads should only occur when the sender (caster) is sending something different. The second option, --localfile, allows the get-cast download program to override the file specified by the sender with a user-specified one. For example, if the sender (caster) was sending /home/user/.bashrc, an overridden form might be --localfile /home/user/.bashrc2. At which point, the files could be compared or otherwise operated on.
