Tahoe-LAFS is a truly unique piece of free software, cryptography for the masses. I should be the one to thank you guys for that.</pre>

It's pretty much like 'tahoe cp' I guess, you can upload and download files and directories (recursively). The main difference is that it's both a CLI command and a library, and also supports OpenStack Swift and Rackspace Cloudfiles using a uniform API, with AWS S3 support comm coming ing soon.</span></pre>
<pre style="white-space:pre-wrap"><br></pre><pre style="white-space:pre-wrap">I'm a Swift cluster maintainer myself (day job) and I used to run a Swift cluster for myself too, now being replaced with Tahoe, since I like to host my servers with different providers world wide and I love my data to be encrypted there.</pre>
<pre style="white-space:pre-wrap">Currently I'm running a small Tahoe cluster with 5 storage nodes (2 @home, 3 elsewhere, ~1TB of storage) with a public SFTP gateway and a private HTTP one (in my laptop). The easy of setup and maintenance (compared to Swift) and the built-in encryption just blows my mind away. As I said before, a truly unique piece of software.</pre>
<pre style="white-space:pre-wrap"><br></pre><pre style="white-space:pre-wrap">I'm currently interested in making Tahoe-LAFS easier to use for some folks who don't like CLI that much but still wanna join my network and share stuff, so I created the AppIndicator. Currently pretty dumb, but I plan to add some more features to it, so they can setup the whole thing without having to resort to the CLI (local gateway setup via wizard, easy creation and upload of files/folders, preferences GUI to customize tahoce.cfg, etc). I've got plans to create a roadmap for it and share it here, if that's of interest to you guys.</pre>
<pre style="white-space:pre-wrap"><br></pre><pre style="white-space:pre-wrap">Thanks for the kind words.</pre><pre style="white-space:pre-wrap">> Thanks!
