RSE is a framework that supports plugging in many different communication protocols.
By default, the dstore and FTP protocol plug-ins are provided, with dstore being a
lot richer in features.
Dstore requirs a server to run on the remote system. There are several methods to
get a server launched for a particular user, the most easy one to set up is the
daemon method. To start a dstore launcher daemon,
- On Windows:
- Extract the rseserver-*-win32.zip package and cd to it.
- Run setup.bat, then run daemon.bat.
- On Linux or AIX or other Unix:
- Extract the appropriate rseserver-*.tar.
- Become root and cd to the package directory.
- Make sure that a Sun or IBM JRE 1.4 or higher is in the PATH. The gcj-based java installation
that comes with many Linux distributions will not do! You can download a Sun JRE from
http://java.sun.com.
- Run perl daemon.pl.
Note: In its default configuration for testing, the dstore daemon accepts unencrypted
passwords from the RSE client. For production use, SSL can be enabled in order to encrypt
connections, or the RSE server can be launched differently (e.g. through ssh).
