@fnet/filenet

This project is a command-line interface (CLI) tool designed to facilitate secure storage and retrieval of digital files using filenet.pro services. The core functionality allows users to encrypt and upload files (push) or download and decrypt files (pull) from the filenet.pro storage platform, offering a simple method for managing file security and access.

How It Works

The tool operates through a series of interactive prompts or user-specified arguments to gather necessary information for file operations. For encryption and uploads, users provide an input file or directory, and for decryption and downloads, specify an output location. Users must provide a mnemonic seed phrase or a private key for cryptographic operations, which is essential for key generation and access rights.

Key Features

• File Encryption and Upload: Securely encrypt files and upload them to filenet.pro, using a private key or derived key from a seed phrase.
• File Decryption and Download: Retrieve encrypted files and decrypt them locally, ensuring access to your data when needed.
• Secure Key Management: Optionally derive cryptographic keys from a mnemonic seed phrase, allowing for flexible access configurations.
• User Interaction: Provides an interactive experience to guide users through the process, with options to bypass prompts using command-line arguments.

Conclusion

@fnet/filenet provides a straightforward solution for securely storing and accessing files with the filenet.pro service. By focusing on fundamental operations—file encryption, upload, retrieval, and decryption—it offers essential functionality for users who need a reliable method for managing sensitive information in a digital format.

Developer Guide for @fnet/filenet

Overview

The @fnet/filenet library provides a toolset for interacting with Filenet services, allowing developers to securely push (encrypt and store) and pull (retrieve and decrypt) content. Using a mnemonic seed phrase or private key, developers can generate cryptographic keys to perform operations with enhanced security, making it particularly suitable for managing encrypted data storage and retrieval.

Installation

To install @fnet/filenet, use npm or yarn:

npm install @fnet/filenet

or

yarn add @fnet/filenet

Usage

To utilize the @fnet/filenet library, you will typically interact with its primary exported function, which handles both pushing and pulling operations to and from Filenet services. The function requires specific parameters to define the operation type, keys for encryption, and input/output file paths.

Push Operation

This involves encrypting your content and safely storing it on Filenet.

import filenet from '@fnet/filenet';

async function pushContent() {
  try {
    const result = await filenet({
      operation: 'push',
      phrase: 'your mnemonic seed phrase here',
      input: './path/to/directory-or-file',
      no_prompt: true
    });
    console.log(result.message);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
}

pushContent();

Pull Operation

This retrieves and decrypts your content from Filenet.

import filenet from '@fnet/filenet';

async function pullContent() {
  try {
    const result = await filenet({
      operation: 'pull',
      phrase: 'your mnemonic seed phrase here',
      output: './path/to/output/directory',
      no_prompt: true
    });
    console.log(result.message);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
}

pullContent();

Examples

Example: Encrypting and Storing Data

// Assuming you have the seed phrase and the data path
await filenet({
  operation: 'push',
  phrase: 'your-mnemonic-seed-phrase',
  input: '/path/to/data'
});

Example: Retrieving and Decrypting Data

// Use the same seed phrase to retrieve the data back
await filenet({
  operation: 'pull',
  phrase: 'your-mnemonic-seed-phrase',
  output: '/path/to/save/decrypted-data'
});
