To do:

  • Synced folder (synced remote files)
    • Content to be synced across all devices, whereas items on the DefaultFrame are managed individually
  • ACLs for shared files
  • API for developers
  • Drag and drop support for both DL and UL (from/to the client)
  • Benchmarking tool
  • Logging (for crashes, etc.)

Latest commit:

  • Authentication over TLS and use scrypt for the password (or another decent KDF)
    • Three rounds:
      • The client sends its credentials to the authentication server. If correct and if an active subscription exists, the server replies with two tokens.
      • The client sends back the two tokens, one for the control and one for the I/O server.
      • If they are valid, the connections to the control and I/O server are kept open and the service may now be used.
  • Separate control and I/O channels
    • Allows to upload/download files and perform other tasks at the same time
    • Control
      • Basic functions (lsfile, lsdir, cd, cwd, mkdir, rename, rm, exists)
      • todo Sharing (create and revoke links)
    • I/O
      • Upload and download files
