sanguinews

Gem Version

Sanguinews is a simple, commandline client for Usenet(nntp) uploads. Inspired by newsmangler. Sanguinews is written in ruby(yenc encoding is done in C). Supports multithreading and SSL.

INSTALLATION

Because of some C code, C compiler is needed(GCC or Apple's clang). On Debian-based systems it can be installed by:

apt-get install build-essential

Debian systems need also additional ruby development headers:

apt-get install ruby-dev

Now you can simply install sanguinews as a gem:

gem install sanguinews

How to use

You will get a sample config in your home directory when you run sanguinews for the first time. Open it in your favourite text editor and adjust accordingly:

vi ~/.sanguinews.conf

Hopefully comments inside will explain everything.

To upload a file:

sanguinews -f file_to_upload

To upload a directory:

sanguinews /path/to/directory

View help:

sanguinews --help
