lgx95/libdrop

Libdrop is the library behind the file sharing feature of NordVPN applications.

libdrop

libdrop is a library for sending/receiving files, primarily over meshnet, but WAN is also an option.

Tests

Whole testsuite

cd test
LIB_PATH=PATH_TO_LIB_BINARY make run

Individual tests

Testsuite takes a long time to complete so running specific tests might be preferential and much faster while developing. To run a specific testsuite you must have a library already built from the previous step.

cd test
docker compose down && SCENARIO="SCENARIO_NAME" LIB_PATH=PATH_TO_LIB_BINARY docker compose up ren stimpy george

udrop

udrop is an example client-server to test basic functionality of the library.

Build and run (server)

A container image can be built with the example binary ready for running:

run.py server run

Run (client)

export DROP_SERVER=172.17.0.2
cargo run --example udrop -- -l 0.0.0.0 transfer $DROP_SERVER <path>

<path> is whatever file or folder you want to transfer to the server.

You can verify the transfer by checking the file system in the server container under /root/<path>
