Allmydata Tahoe

Allmydata Tahoe project is a secure, distributed, fault-tolerant storage grid, available under a free-software licence.

You can store files in the grid and retrieve them with a cryptographically generated URI that securely identifies and decrypts that file. You can also organize files with filenames and directories, in the familiar style. The basic idea is that the data in this storage grid is spread over all participating nodes, using an algorithm that can recover the data even if a majority of the nodes are no longer available.

The current code base is targeted at hackers and users who are willing to use a minimal, text-oriented web user interface.

What is new in this release:

• This release adds a repairer, an efficient backup command, support for large files, an (S)FTP server, and much more.
• In addition to the many new features of Tahoe itself, a crop of related projects have sprung up, including Tahoe frontends for Windows and Macintosh, two frontends written in JavaScript, a Tahoe plugin for duplicity, a Tahoe plugin for TiddlyWiki, a project to create a new backup tool, CIFS/SMB integration, an iPhone app, and three incomplete Tahoe frontends for FUSE.
