Can't send data [Help wanted]

[bigbangvn]

I tried this on my Mac Receiver: wdt -directory ~/Download -start_port 22356 Sender: wdt -directory ~/Download -destination 127.0.0.1

And always get error:

connect did not succeed on 127.0.0.1 22356 : Connection refused W1124 02:04:21.625430 225271808 ClientSocket.cpp:144] wdt> connect did not succeed on 127.0.0.1 22363 : Connection refused W1124 02:04:21.625440 223662080 ClientSocket.cpp:144] wdt> connect did not succeed on 127.0.0.1 22360 : Connection refused W1124 02:04:21.625444 222052352 ClientSocket.cpp:144] wdt> connect did not succeed on 127.0.0.1 22357 : Connection refused

Plz help, what's wrong with the command?

you need to pass the connection url from the receiver to the sender: https://github.com/facebook/wdt/wiki/Getting-Started-with-the-WDT-command-line

or disable encryption

Hi, thanks so much! I can transfer data when disable encryption:

wdt -directory ~/Downloads/Received --transfer_id=none --encryption_type=none -start_port 22356

But without disabling encryption (wdt -directory ~/Downloads/Received -start_port 22356). When start sender I got this error:

the connection URL has to be exactly what the receiver outputs on stdout

it seems you copied the logged URL which obfuscate the secret by design, you need to copy the url printed out (or capture it via | like linked above)

[bigbangvn]

Oh yea, thanks 👍 it's obfuscated url. I can send now with parsed url from stdout! But I notice that sending with encryption is much slower than no encryption (~700Mbytes/s vs ~60Mbytes/s). Is it expected? Because I thought that AES 128 encryption just increase CPU usage a bit, not expand the data. Could you tell me the reason?

[ldemailly]

not sure, maybe your CPU doesn't have hardware acceleration for encryption, is it old ?

[bigbangvn]

it's Intel core i5 2.9 Ghz. The terminal show that: nguyentb$ sysctl -n machdep.cpu.brand_string Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6267U CPU @ 2.90GHz

I also see that the CPU is full load 200% when sending. So does the encryption needs lots of power?
