This is a simple tool to send and receive encrypted files over a websocket. Files are encrypted using AES, and your own key used to encrypt the file is stored locally, next to executable as .vkey

Use send to send a file, and listen to receive files When sending a file, it will compress and encrypt the files bytes and send them over the websocket.

Succesfully sending a file will create a .vkey file with the key used to encrypt it, eg file.txt.vkey Send this file to the receiver, and they will be able to decrypt it.

The "bounce server" will relay the file to all clients indiscriminately, therefore it must wait for a response back to delete the lockfile created alongside the key. Placing a .server file in the vbucket directory with the URL of another bounce server will will override the default server, which is wss://sockets.l-m.dev

When receiving a file, it will listen for any incoming files and store them in the vbucket directory with the extension .vbytes

To list all files in the vbucket directory, use list

Use add to add a new key to the local bucket, for decrypting a file with the same base name

Then, use unpack to decrypt all files in the vbucket directory, and place them in the current directory

For example, add file.txt.vkey will add a key for received file file.txt.vbytes to later decrypt into file.txt using unpack

Use reset to change your encryption key
