Simple usage:

$ sftpsquid user1@host1:file user2@host2:

1. Download the latest release from github
2. Unzip the file.

Then you can run it either from inside the directory or you can move the two files (sftpsquid and sftpsquid.jar) somewhere convenient. We recommend you to use your bin directory, i.e. /Users/<your_user_name>/bin/ on Mac and /home/<your_user_name>/bin on linux.

1. git
2. maven
3. Java 1.8

$ git clone https://github.com/BILS/sftp-squid.git
$ cd sftp-squid

Project is easiest built using maven:

$ mvn clean compile assembly:single

There is a test environment in the vm/ subdirectory. It uses vagrant with the virtual box provisioner and ansible for configuration to set up 2 virtual machines for testing.

You need virtualbox installed on your system.

To setup ansible it is recommended that you create a virtual python environment using virtualenv. And then install the requirements from the requirements.txt file.

$ cd vm
$ virtualenv env
$ source env/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Once the virtual environment for testing is setup you can spin up the machines:

$ vagrant up

This will privision 2 virtual machines with ssh open on localhost ports 4021 and 4022. Both have for the user test_user password asdfasdf and a second factor password is set as well which is hej.

To then test the transfer of one directory do this:

$ sftpsquid test_user@localhost:4021:transfer test_user@localhost:4022:
