ssh-tgz

Archive and Secure

Usage is similar to tar.

ssh-tgzx github-username archive-file [files | directories]

Extract

Send the file to user who owns the identity and they simply:

bash ./archive-file identity-file

List

bash ./archive-file identity-file t

Example

Create secure archive

To archive some files to send to me:

ssh-tgzx $GITHUB_USERNAME private.tgzx private-folder secret-file

It is (relatively) safe to send the file to me via insecure channels.

Extract

I can extract is using:

bash ./private.tgzx ~/.ssh/id_rsa

List

Or just list the contents:

bash ./private.tgzx ~/.ssh/id_rsa t

tgzx

tgzx archive-file [files | directories]

./archive-file
