PsiTransfer is an open-source web-based file sharing platform that allows you to securely transfer files over the internet. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of installing PsiTransfer on Kali Linux Latest.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
The first step is to install all the required packages that PsiTransfer needs to run. You can install them using the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git php-curl php-json php-pdo php-xml php-mbstring
Now we need to download PsiTransfer from its GitHub repository. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo git clone https://github.com/psi-4ward/psitransfer.git /var/www/html/psitransfer
This command will download PsiTransfer and store it in the /var/www/html/psitransfer directory.
Next, we need to configure Apache2 web server to serve PsiTransfer. We can do this by creating a virtual host file for PsiTransfer.
Create a new virtual host file using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/psitransfer.conf
Now copy and paste the following configuration into the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/psitransfer
ServerName psitransfer.local
ServerAlias www.psitransfer.local
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/psitransfer_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/psitransfer_access.log combined
<Directory /var/www/html/psitransfer/>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Save and close the file by pressing CTRL+X, then Y, and then ENTER.
Now enable the virtual host file using the following command:
sudo a2ensite psitransfer
Finally, reload Apache2 web server for the changes to take effect:
sudo systemctl reload apache2
We need to configure PsiTransfer by editing the config.inc.php file. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo nano /var/www/html/psitransfer/config.inc.php
Now update the following variables in the file:
define('PSITRANSFER_SALT', '<your_salt_key_here>');
define('PSITRANSFER_HASH', '<your_hash_key_here>');
define('PSITRANSFER_BASE', 'http://psitransfer.local');
You need to replace <your_salt_key_here> with a random alphanumeric string of your choice. Similarly, replace <your_hash_key_here> with another random alphanumeric string.
Save and close the file by pressing CTRL+X, then Y, and then ENTER.
Finally, open your web browser and enter the URL http://psitransfer.local or http://localhost/psitransfer in the address bar.
You should now see the PsiTransfer web interface, where you can upload and share files securely.
You have successfully installed PsiTransfer on Kali Linux Latest. We hope this tutorial was helpful to you, and you can now share files securely over the internet using PsiTransfer.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
