EXPLICIT TRUST
A discovered computer is not automatically trusted.
Status: Preview
RFile pairing requires an invitation or discovered endpoint, a matching confirmation code, and an explicit decision. Permissions remain separately configurable after trust is established.
Confirm the right computer
- Exchange privately
Share an invitation only with the person controlling the other RFile computer.
- Compare both screens
Read the displayed confirmation digits on both computers and confirm only when they match.
- Review the trusted entry
After pairing, identify the device in Trusted devices before enabling access.
Permission meanings
- Send
Allows this computer to initiate sending selected content to the trusted device where the peer also accepts it. The direct-send controls additionally require a live LAN connection; offline and iroh-only cards stay disabled.
- Receive
Allows accepted incoming content from the trusted device to be written to the configured incoming location.
- Browse
Allows the peer to enumerate only locations that are separately shared or approved.
- Write
Allows supported changes inside a shared location when Browse is enabled and that share also grants read/write access.
- Auto-Accept
Removes an approval step for eligible incoming actions from that trusted device. Enable it only when the device and operator are trusted.
