ncdc: added screenshots, updated FAQ, ncdu: updated package list
ncdc's FAQ is now in a pod file, which is somewhat easier to maintain. Also added the signature files for the last ncdc and ncdu releases, which I forgot to commit previously.

=head1 About ncdc
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=head2 What about other text-mode clients?
|
||||
|
||||
L<microdc2|http://corsair626.no-ip.org/microdc/> - A rather nice client, yet
|
||||
not exactly there. It's limited to connecting to a single hub, hasn't been
|
||||
updated since 2006, and the readline interface is slightly awkward to use.
|
||||
|
||||
L<nanodc|http://sourceforge.net/projects/nanodc/> - Can't comment much on this,
|
||||
except maybe that rocket science is perhaps easier than getting nanodc to
|
||||
compile.
|
||||
|
||||
LDCC - Uses DCTC as backend and an interface based on TurboVision. All
|
||||
mentioned projects are dead: neither LDCC, DCTC nor TurboVision are seeing any
|
||||
recent development.
|
||||
|
||||
L<ShakesPeer|http://shakespeer.bzero.se/> - Appears to have a commandline
|
||||
inter-face as well. I haven't personally tried it, but have not heard much
|
||||
positive things about it. Has not seen any recent development, either.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=head2 Why did you start from scratch? Why not use the DC++ core?
|
||||
|
||||
There are many reasons why I chose not to use code from existing projects, but
|
||||
all of them boil down to the following two: 1) I am a control freak, and 2)
|
||||
personal preferences. That is the short answer. The long answer will require a
|
||||
full article, and I don't feel like writing that much at this point. >_>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=head2 What protocol features does ncdc support?
|
||||
|
||||
For ADC: BASE, RF, TIGR, BZIP, ADCS and KEYP.
|
||||
|
||||
For NMDC: NoGetINFO, NoHello, UserIP2, MiniSlots, XmlBZList, ADCGet, TTHL and TTHF.
|
||||
|
||||
ncdc also support TLS-enabled connections for both hub connections and
|
||||
client-to-client connections on both ADC and NMDC protocols. Note that ncdc
|
||||
does not support some of the older NMDC protocol features, like $Get,
|
||||
$GetZBlock, $CHUNK, $Cancel or non-XML file lists. I am not aware of an other
|
||||
up-to-date client that still uses any of these features.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=head1 Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
=head2 How do I install ncdc on Ubuntu?
|
||||
|
||||
This is for Ubuntu 11.10, but may work for other versions as well. Run the
|
||||
following command:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install libbz2-dev libgdbm-dev\
|
||||
libncursesw5-dev libxml2-dev libglib2.0-dev gnutls-bin
|
||||
|
||||
And then follow the instructions in the README.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=head2 I'm getting the error "No PEM-encoded private key found" on startup
|
||||
|
||||
Most likely this is caused by a L<bug in
|
||||
glib-networking|https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664321>. To get
|
||||
around it, install the "certtool" utility that comes with gnutls (package
|
||||
"gnutls-bin" on Ubuntu), delete the old certificates ("rm ~/.ncdc/cert/*"), and
|
||||
then start ncdc again.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=head2 Why doesn't ncdc rotate log files automatically?
|
||||
|
||||
Because you can easily do that yourself. You can either use logrotate or a
|
||||
simple script that runs from a cron. For an example of the latter option,
|
||||
L<this is the script I use|http://p.blicky.net/s7132>, which is run as a
|
||||
monthly cron job.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=head1 Can ncdc...
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=head2 Can ncdc use the hash data or configuration from an existing DC++ installation?
|
||||
|
||||
No, ncdc uses its own configuration and hash storage directory. However, on
|
||||
popular demand I could write a conversion utility to transfer the hash data
|
||||
from other clients to ncdc's format.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=head2 Can ncdc run in the background / as a daemon?
|
||||
|
||||
As with most ncurses applications: no. At least, it does not have this
|
||||
functionality built-in. Ncdc is designed to be used in combination with a
|
||||
separate terminal multiplexer or detach utility to handle this. Have a look at
|
||||
L<GNU screen|http://www.gnu.org/s/screen/>,
|
||||
L<tmux|http://tmux.sourceforge.net/> or L<dtach|http://dtach.sourceforge.net/>.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=head2 Does ncdc support TLS?
|
||||
|
||||
Yes! To make use of this, however, you need to have relatively new version
|
||||
of glib2. If you're still working with an outdated system, an alternative
|
||||
is to use L<stunnel|http://www.stunnel.org/> to connect to
|
||||
TLS-enabled hubs. This trick does not allow encrypted client-to-client
|
||||
connections, so your file transfers will remain unencrypted.
|
||||
|
||||
The following example stunnel configuration is what I used to connect to
|
||||
the DC Development hub before ncdc had native TLS support:
|
||||
|
||||
[dcdev]
|
||||
client = yes
|
||||
accept = 127.0.0.1:16591
|
||||
connect = hub.dcbase.org:16591
|
||||
|
||||
The URL `adc://127.0.0.1:16591/' can then be used to connect to the hub from
|
||||
within ncdc.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=head2 Does ncdc support UPnP?
|
||||
|
||||
Not natively. However, it is possible to use L<this
|
||||
script|http://www.howtoforge.com/administrating-your-gateway-device-via-upnp>
|
||||
and manually keep a port open using a cron job. I have no experience with this
|
||||
myself, though. I just run ncdc directly on my router. :-)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=head2 Are there any programs available for analyzing the transfers.log file?
|
||||
|
||||
Nothing like that is included in the release yet, but there is a simple
|
||||
Perl script available: L<ncdc-transfer-stats|http://p.blicky.net/agolr>.

There are many reasons why I chose not to use code from existing projects,
|

but all of them boil down to the following two: 1) I am a control freak,
|
||||
and 2) personal preferences.<br />
|
||||
That is the short answer. The long answer will require a full article,
|
||||
and I don't feel like writing that much at this point. >_>

|

As with most ncurses applications: no. At least, it does not have this
|
||||
functionality built-in. Ncdc is designed to be used in combination with a
|
||||
separate terminal multiplexer or detach utility to handle this. Have a look
|
||||
at <a href="http://www.gnu.org/s/screen/">GNU screen</a>,
|
||||
<a href="http://tmux.sourceforge.net/">tmux</a> or
|

h2 'Does ncdc support TLS?';
|

p;
|

lit <<' E;';
|
||||
Yes! To make use of this, however, you need to have relatively new version
|
||||
of glib2. If you're still working with an outdated system, an alternative
|
||||
is to use <a href="http://www.stunnel.org/">stunnel</a> to connect to
|
||||
TLS-enabled hubs. This trick does not allow encrypted client-to-client
|
||||
connections, so your file transfers will remain unencrypted.<br />
|
||||
The following example stunnel configuration is what I used to connect to
|
||||
the DC Development hub before ncdc had native TLS support:</p>
|
||||
<pre>[dcdev]<br />client = yes<br />accept = 127.0.0.1:16591<br />connect = hub.dcbase.org:16591</pre>
|
||||
<p>The URL `adc://127.0.0.1:16591/' can then be used to connect to the hub
|
||||
from within ncdc.

||||

|
||||
end;
|
||||
|
||||
h2 'Does ncdc support UPnP?';
|
||||
p;
|
||||
lit <<' E;';
|
||||
Not natively. However, it is possible to use <a
|
||||
href="http://www.howtoforge.com/administrating-your-gateway-device-via-upnp">this
|
||||
script</a> and manually keep a port open using a cron job. I have no
|
||||
experience with this myself, though. I just run ncdc directly on my router. :-)

end;
|
||||
|
||||
h2 'Are there any programs available for analyzing the transfers.log file?';
|
||||
p;
|
||||
lit <<' E;';
|
||||
Nothing like that is included in the release yet, but there is a simple
|
||||
Perl script available: <a
|
||||
href="http://p.blicky.net/agolr">ncdc-transfer-stats</a>.

|
||||
|
||||
h2 'Why doesn\'t ncdc rotate log files automatically?';
|
||||
p;
|
||||
lit <<' E;';
|
||||
Because you can easily do that yourself. You can either use logrotate or a
|
||||
simple script that runs from a cron. For an example of the latter option,
|
||||
<a href="http://p.blicky.net/s7132">this is the script I use</a>, which is
|
||||
run as a monthly cron job.

h2 'What protocol features does ncdc support?';

For ADC: BASE, RF, TIGR, BZIP, ADCS and KEYP.<br />
|
||||
For NMDC: NoGetINFO, NoHello, UserIP2, MiniSlots, XmlBZList, ADCGet, TTHL and TTHF.<br />
|
||||
That is pretty much everything you'd expect any modern client to have. Note
|
||||
that ncdc does not support some of the older NMDC protocol features, like $Get,
|
||||
$GetZBlock, $CHUNK, $Cancel or non-XML file lists. I am not aware of an
|
||||
other up-to-date client that still uses any of these features.
