Chindi
Features
These are some of the capabilities of Chindi:
- An assymetric RSA-type cipher is used for the transfer of the stream cipher keys. The number
of bits to use for the RSA encryption is optional. This means that communication with the Chindi
Server is very hard to decode for someone using a packet sniffer.
- Remote administration of the server through the Chindi Client. In fact, all administration is remote,
even when on the local machine.
- All user data is stored in a lightweight SQL-compliant database (HypersonicSQL by Thomas
Mueller), allowing the use of the powerful SQL syntax for data management.
- System-independent file access system. You can set hierarchical accesslevels for
directories and different operations.
- The client is capable of running scripted sessions.
- Different from an FTP-type datatransfer, a Chindi datatransfer does not occupy the current
connection, but instead creates a new one. This means that in one login session several concurrent
transfers can take place while still keeping the login session open for communication.
