What is gftp on Golem, and why is it needed?

QUESTION

What is gftp on Golem, and why is it needed?

Asked 2021-Mar-31 at 15:13

I have a few questions regarding the gftp implementation that Golem uses for transfers.

Why is it needed?
Is it using some kind of custom protocol to transfer the files or is it done using normal HTTPS?
Are there any limitations? Could be related to speed of transfer etc.

...

ANSWER

Answered 2021-Mar-31 at 15:13

gftp is a custom protocol for transferring files via Golem Network. Here is the repo: https://github.com/golemfactory/yagna/tree/master/core/gftp

Ad1. Golem Network (yagna) needs it to be able to transport binary payload between Providers and Requstors.

Ad2. It has very little in common with the classic FTP protocol. It uses Golem Service Bus (aka GSB) under the hood, to transfer bytes of data between the Golem nodes. See: https://github.com/golemfactory/ya-service-bus

Ad3. Of course, there are limitations:

it is still in Beta phase
it is not optimised for transfer speed yet.
transfers are possible just between two nodes (it is not like IPFS, BitTorrent which are replicating resource on consecutive nodes)
... and more which will be subject to change, so I do not want to elaborate more right now.

Vulnerabilities

No vulnerabilities reported

Install gftp

Yes, the text port of gFTP supports this well. You can type: gftp-text -d ftp://ftp.somesite.com/someplace. If someplace is a directory, it'll automatically download all of its subdirectories as well. If you want to transfer a file through ssh instead of ftp, just change the ftp:// to ssh://.

Support

FTP (ftp://)FTPS (ftps://) (Explicit TLS - current standard for encrypted FTP)FTPSi (ftpsi://) (Implicit TLS, default port: 990)SSH2 (ssh2://) (sftp) - requires OpenSSH client: sshFSP (fsp://) (UDP File Service Protocol)
