NAME
Amied - two rudimentary scripts that allows you to edit
remote Amiga text files from a Unix machine.
SYNOPSIS
Amiga side:
run execute ed.service [CLIENT IP]
Unix side:
amied [SERVER IP] [FILE]
DESCRIPTION
This couple of scripts allows you to edit text files
residing on an Amiga from a Unix machine. The two machines
must reside on the same LAN and must have port 1124/TCP open.
PREREQUISITES
Amiga side:
- any TCP/IP stack
- "TCP device" provided by inet-handler
Unix side:
- nc ("OpenBSD netcat")
USAGE
In this example we assume that Amiga is at 192.168.0.7
and Unix at 192.168.0.8
Amiga side:
run execute ed.service 192.168.0.8
Unix side:
amied 192.168.0.7 s:startup-sequence
Remote file "startup-sequence" will appear in "nano"
or any other user's editor of choice.
After closing the editor, the remote file will be updated.
If the remote file doesn't exist, it will be created.
Please note that if the FULL PATH is not specified,
the file will be created in SYS:!
INSTALLATION
Copy "ed.service" to s:
and put the lines...
; BEGIN AMIED
run execute ed.service [CLIENT IP]
; END AMIED
...right after the "startnet" command from AmiTCP
(usually located in s:user-startup).
Under Unix one can retrieve the client script like this:
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Telefonorosso/amied/master/amied >amied
chmod +x amied
ADVANTAGES
- Runs on a plain Amiga 600
- Little-to-no RAM usage
- Entirely script-based (20 lines total)
- Not relying on inetd
- Useful with headless Amigas
LIMITATIONS
- Client is for Unix only, not Windows
- Accepts connections from a single IP (maybe that's a feature?)
- NO ERROR HANDLING BESIDE A "FAILAT 21"
- NO SECURITY AT ALL
- It just allows to edit some friggin text files!
(what do you expect from 20 lines of code?)
- You can't remotely edit the server script itself
(it's locked for writing)
THEORY OF OPERATION
- These are the command pairs that are connected via TCP/IP (the arrows).
Variables are expanded for clarity.
echo "s:user-startup" | nc -N 192.168.0.7 1124 ---> set localfile `type
TCP:1124`
copy "s:user-startup" TO TCP:192.168.0.8/1124 ----> nc -l 1124 >/tmp/amied.tmp
cat /tmp/amied.tmp | nc -N 192.168.0.7 1124 ------> copy TCP:1124 TO
"s:user-startup"
