How it Works

ShellShare establishes a robust tunnel between an SSH server and an HTTP server using Golang channels, facilitating seamless file streaming and sharing.

Core Functionality:

1. Tunnel Establishment:Creates a tunnel between SSH and HTTP servers leveraging Golang channels.
2. SSH Session & File Streaming:Initiates an SSH session for efficient file streaming and sharing.
3. Shareable Link Generation:Upon receiving a signal in the SSH server, generates a shareable link.
4. Data Propagation: Pushes signal data through Golang channels.
5. Download Link Activation:Upon user interaction (clicking the download link), the server listens to the designated channel.
6. File Wrapping & HTTP Response:Starts encapsulating file bytes into the HTTP response for download.
