'hkexsh' (HerraduraKEx shell) is a golang implementation of a simple
remote shell client and server, similar in role to ssh, offering
encrypted interactive and non-interactive sessions. The client and server
programs (hkexsh and hkexshd) use a mostly drop-in replacement for golang's
standard golang/pkg/net facilities (net.Dial(), net.Listen(), net.Accept()
encrypted interactive and non-interactive sessions as well as file copying.
The client and server programs (hkexsh and hkexshd) use a mostly drop-in
replacement for golang's standard golang/pkg/net facilities (net.Dial(), net.Listen(), net.Accept()
and the net.Conn type), which automatically negotiate keying material for
'secure' sockets using the experimental HerraduraKEx key exchange algorithm

In separate shells A and B:

NOTE if running client (hkexsh) with -d, one will likely need to run 'reset' afterwards
to fix up the shell tty afterwards as stty echo may not be restored if client crashes
or is interrupted.
File Copying using hkexcp
--
hkexcp is a symlink to hkexsh, and the binary checks its own filename to determine whether it is being invoked in 'shell' or 'copy' mode. Refer to the '-h' output for differences in accepted options.
General remote syntax is: user@server:[/]src-or-dest-path
If no leading / is specified in src-or-dest-path, it is assumed to be relative to $HOME of the remote user.
File operations are all performed as the remote user, so account permissions apply as expected.
Local (client) to remote (server) copy:
* cd hkexsh && ./hkexcp fileA /some/where/fileB /some/where/else/dirC joebloggs@host-or-ip:/remoteDir
Remote (server) to local (client) copy:
* cd hekxsh && ./hkexcp joebloggs@host-or-ip:/remoteDirOrFile /some/where/local/Dir
NOTE: Renaming while copying is NOT supported (ie., like cp's 'cp /foo/bar/fileA ./fileB). Put another way, the destination (whether local or remote) is ALWAYS a dir.
hkexcp uses tar with gzip compression (ala a 'tarpipe') under the hood, sending tar data over the hkex encrypted channel. Use the -d flag on client or server to see the generated tar commandlines if you're curious.
