A powerful tool designed to tunnel TCP connections through a file. Ideal for circumventing firewalls and establishing secure network links, File Tunnel leverages shared file systems to enable seamless communication between hosts.
This article delves into practical uses, setup examples, and the underlying technology that makes it all possible.
ft.exe -L 5000:127.0.0.1:3389 --write "\\server\share\1.dat" --read "\\server\share\2.dat"
This command listens for connections on port 5000. When one is received, it is forwarded through the file tunnel and then onto 127.0.0.1:3389.
ft.exe --read "\\server\share\1.dat" --write "\\server\share\2.dat"
Now on Host A, connect the client to 127.0.0.1:5000
and it will be forwarded to the remote server.
You’d like to connect to a remote service (eg. 192.168.1.50:8888
), but only have access to Host B using RDP.
ft.exe -L 5000:192.168.1.50:8888 --write "C:\Temp\1.dat" --read "C:\Temp\2.dat"
Run an RDP client and ensure local drives are shared as shown here.
RDP to Host B.
ft.exe --read "\\tsclient\c\Temp\1.dat" --write "\\tsclient\c\Temp\2.dat"
Now on Host A, you can connect to 127.0.0.1:5000
and it will be forwarded to 192.168.1.50:8888
-L
can be used multiple times, to forward numerous ports through the one tunnel.0.0.0.0
. For example: -L 0.0.0.0:5000:192.168.1.50:3389
allows any computer on the network to connect to the tunnel and onto 192.168.1.50:3389-R
for remote forwarding. For example: -R 5000:10.0.0.50:6000
instructs the remote side to listen on port 5000, and when a connection is received forward it through the tunnel and onto 10.0.0.50:6000 via the local machine. This allows you to share a server running on your local machine, with other computers.The program starts a TCP listener, and when a connection is received it writes the TCP data into a file. This same file is read by the counterpart program, which establishes a TCP connection and onforwards the TCP data.
To avoid the shared file growing indefinitely it is purged whenever it gets larger than 10 MB.
