Free managed file transfer secure software for linux

Simple File Transfer is a pure useless program which allows you exchange files with remote computers via Internet. This program has been written for personnal use, so dont blame me if you think I am stupid doing such tool for the others.
It should run on every POSIX compliant Operating System, but I cant give you any complete list.
If you want to compile it under *BSD, maybe youll have to disable the uname() call by running the configure script with the --with-uname=no option.
Enhancements:
- Added the support of hostnames for the destination server

GNOME Transfer Manager allows the user to retrieve multiple files from the web.

These files can be retrieved in multiple parts and each part retrieved on a separate session that the user is connected to the Internet. This is most useful to users with dialup connections. The program performs these tasks using wget as its back-end.

The program supports CORBA. This makes it easy for other programs to use GTransferManager to handle the transfer of files from the Internet.

The program also has an applet which communicates with program using CORBA. The applet can launch the program, request for a new download or accept drops of URLs from netscape, gFTP, gmc and give these URLs to GTM.

Apple Disk Transfer ProDOS (or ADTPro for short) transfers diskettes and logical disk images between Apple ][-era computers and the modern world. If youre familiar with the original ADT, ADTPro extends ADTs reach by working with more logical disk formats, drive types, communications devices, and host operating systems.
Main features:
- Compatibility with any device ProDOS can read
- Compatibility with any Apple ][ (or clone) computer with 64k memory
- Compatibility with many logical disk image formats: .DSK, .PO, .NIB, 2IMG
- Server compatibility with original ADT client program
- Server compatibility with Windows, Mac OSX, Linux, and probably Solaris
- Ability to bootstrap an Apple ][ from bare metal over serial or cassette ports
- Ability to send floppies in "batch" mode without having to name each one
Server
The server program runs on a computer capable of running Java. Depending on how you want to connect to your Apple, you might also need a serial port and cables, an Uthernet card for your apple, or a couple of audio patch cables. The server offers a compact user interface that shows what communications are taking place between the host and the Apple ][.
The servers primary role is to send and receive disk images as requested from the client. But if you have recently acquired an Apple and a disk drive, and you have no software for it - youre in a bit of a tricky situation if you want to move software from the Internet all the way to your shiny new Apple. ADTPros server can help get you get bootstrapped.
Client
The client side runs on the Apple ][. It handles most of the user interaction. When choosing disks/volumes to transfer, anything that ProDOS can see is fair game. Transferring data occurs with a 20k buffer on the Apple, so all transfers are broken up into 20k chunks. A progress indicator shows how far it is into the current chunk, as well as a running count of the total progress.
Enhancements:
- This release has been enhanced with Jean-Marc Boutillon (Deckard)s FASTDSK fast Disk II reading routines.
- This results in a speed boost of 25%-33% for Disk II to host transfers.
- Bootstrapping operations have been reduced, as there is no longer a dependency on ProDOS BASIC.

Fast Data Transfer is an application for efficient data transfers that is capable of reading and writing at disk speed over wide area networks (with standard TCP).
It can be used to stream a large set of files across the network, so a large dataset composed of thousands of files can be sent or received at full speed, without the network transfer restarting between files.
The project is written in Java, runs an all major platforms, and is easy to use.
Main features:
- Streams a dataset (list of files) continuously, using a managed pool of buffers through one or more TCP sockets.
- Uses independent threads to read and write on each physical device
- Transfers data in parallel on multiple TCP streams, when necessary
- Uses appropriate-sized buffers for disk I/O and for the network
- Restores the files from buffers asynchronously
- Resumes a file transfer session without loss, when needed

Transfer to Media Device is a script that creates a new Playlist Right Click Menu item for transferring selected playlist items to your iPod via the Media Device Browser.
This script now also supports generic copy to operation for USB mass storage devices. Currently the script will prompt for a destination directory on first copy, in the future this setting will be saved in a configuration file.
This script works with amaroK 1.3beta3 and above.
Usage:
Run from the amaroK script manager. A new menu item will appear in the Playlist right mouse button menu.
Select files in the playlist and Right click -> Transfer to -> iPod for transfering to an iPod.
Select files in the playlist and Right click -> Transfer to -> USB Device for transfering to a USB device.
Enhancements:
- Add support for Creative Nomad Jukebox devices using the kionjb kioslave. Thanks to Ralf T for the patch.

Fast Secure File System exports existing directories securely over the network, letting users store and retrieve encrypted data in a scalable and transparent way. FSFS is written in C and works on GNU/Linux systems on x86 and PPC architectures, with help from FUSE and OpenSSL.
File systems are easily the most evident, from the point of view of users, component of an operating system. Through file systems it is possible to organize data in a wide variety of ways, and access resources through a common interface.
Users can nowadays not only store and retrieve documents, but also find information on running processes and system settings (through ProcFS), access and manipulate e-mail (for example with GmailFS), or perform several other operations.
In several circumstances and scenarios it is desirable to protect stored files and directories from manipulation by unknown or malicious users: financial or health-related data, confidential documents, or any kind of personal or sensitive data may need to be stored securely, in such a way that it can not be examined or modified freely by third parties.
Most file systems do not take action in this sense, and external cryptographic utilities are sometimes employed to secure data before storage. While this can be a perfectly secure solution, it is not transparent to users.
Distributed file systems propose efficient ways of accessing data remotely as if it resided on the local machine; when it comes to dealing with securely stored data as in the examples above, care must be taken to preserve confidentiality and integrity also during network transfer.
Not all distributed file systems accomplish this task, weakening the overall security of the system, or do so inefficiently, making it inconvenient for users.
FSFS is a secure, distributed file system in users space, written in C with much help from FUSE and OpenSSL. It lets users store and retrieve data securely and transparently, knowing that it is protected both on permanent storage devices and while in transit over the network.
It is also concerned with scalability, therefore separates data cryptography from the server, leaving it to the clients; this approach is similar to the one used in CFS, and opposite to those taken on by other secure file system solutions (like NFS on top of IPsec).
FSFS is written as a pair of user space daemons that act as client and server. Because of this, it needs no kernel support (unlike NFS over IPsec), save the FUSE loadable kernel module on clients, included in Linux since 2.6.14; servers dont use FUSE and depend only on user space OpenSSL libraries.
Servers export an existing file system (of virtually any kind) to clients over the network through two separate channels: a TLS connection set up with OpenSSL, and a clear channel. Requests from the clients to the servers are sent via the TLS socket, thus they are encrypted and authenticated, according to TLS v1 specifications, by the channel itself and decrypted on receipt, as they are usually very short and the relevant cryptography does not constitute a great overhead; simple server replies undergo the same process.
Cryptography in this case happens at both ends of the transmission.
In a distributed file system, large amounts of data may be transferred between clients and servers, thus encrypting and decrypting everything may become too cumbersome for both parties, and as more clients are added to the system the server may severely lose performance; moreover, file data should be stored encrypted anyway, so the cryptography could be moved to the clients, in such a way that each encrypts data before a write operation sends it over the network to the server, and decrypts it after a read retrieves it.
This way servers only deal with TLS details and can concentrate on serving client requests by doing the relevant I/O on the underlying, "physical" file system. As the data is already encrypted, it does not need to go through the TLS channel and the corresponding overhead, but can be sent via the clear channel, provided the messages are authenticated.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes two bugs. One bug related to socket creation and would cause problems on some systems (namely OpenSUSE 10.2). The other bug related to server configuration creation when using the Python configuration utilities. Users dont need to upgrade to this release if theyre not experiencing problems or are not using the Python configuration utilities.

DMO stands for "Database of Managed Objects." This is a tool for documenting all objects within a data center.
Database of Managed Objects provides an object-based overlay on a MySQL database, with a Web-based interface, which allows new objects to be defined in a hierarchy.
Each object can have attributes defined, which are inherited by objects below in the hierarchy. Information can be imported in CSV or XML format, and reports can be produced in XML, CSV, PDF and HTML formats.
DMO uses PHP and MySQL to support documentation of all network and system objects within your computing environment. It offers a Web interface that enables easy navigation through objects, instances and attributes, with XML and access controls.
Enhancements:
- This is the first significant release of DMO for nearly two years.
- It works with Linux and Windows (XAMPP), but should work well with any LAMP stack including PHP4.
- New features include much more graphical viewing, as well as mapping objects onto maps with drill-down to additional layers of maps following dependency trails, a new Flash viewer for browsing through objects, and the ability to create chains of objects based on any attribute type (where any other object can be an attribute of any other object).
