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.
