  • The client is writen in C language, very small, suitable for embedded Linux
    • No SSL: rtty(32K) + libev(56K)
    • Support SSL: + libmbedtls(88K) + libmbedcrypto(241K) + libmbedx509(48k)
  • Execute command remotely in a batch of devices
  • SSL support: openssl, mbedtls, CyaSSl(wolfssl)
  • mTLS
  • Very convenient to upload and download files

How to run rtty

Replace the following parameters with your own parameters

sudo rtty -I 'My-device-ID' -h 'your-server' -p 5912 -a -v -d 'My Device Description'

If your rttys is configured with mTLS enabled (device key and certificate required), add the following parameters(Replace the following with valid paths to your own)

-k /etc/ssl/private/abc.pem -c /etc/ssl/certs/abc.pem

You can generate them e.g. via openssl tool openssl req -x509 -newkey ec -pkeyopt ec_paramgen_curve:secp521r1 -keyout /tmp/key.pem -out /tmp/cert.pem -days 18262 -nodes -subj "/C=CZ/O=Acme Inc./OU=ACME/CN=ACME-DEV-123"

If your rttys is configured with a token, add the following parameter(Replace the following token with your own)

-t 34762d07637276694b938d23f10d7164

Usage

Use your web browser to access your server: http://your-server-host:5913, then click the connection button

connect devices with no web login required(you need to configure the device white list on the server)

http://your-server-host:5913/connect/devid1

http://your-server-host:5913/connect/devid2

Transfer file

Transfer file from local to remote device

rtty -R

Transfer file from remote device to the local

rtty -S test.txt
