Abstract

Cget, cput, and stage are three simple programs that implement authenticated or encrypted file transfers on the Internet. Cget and cput read and write files to a remote host, and stage ensures that a remote directory accurately mirrors a local master directory. These routines use private key cryptography for authentication and privacy between pairs of secured hosts. They are simple, paranoid Unix tools that can be used to support systems that operate in a hostile environment.
