What is sett?

sett stands for "Secure Encryption and Transfer Tool" and is a Rust-based program that automates the packaging, encryption, and transfer of data.

sett is available both as a desktop app, and as a command line tool. Most functionalities of sett are available in both the desktop app and in the command line tool.

sett is developed as part of the BioMedIT project. It is licensed under the LGPLv3 (GNU Lesser General Public License) and the source code is available from its public GitLab repo

When using sett to transfer data into the SPHN BioMedIT network, a number of additional constraints apply. These specific instructions are highlighted throughout this documentation in BioMedIT labeled boxes, just like this one.
