Frontend Configuration
======================
The Tahoe client process can run a variety of frontend file-access protocols.
You will use these to create and retrieve files from the virtual filesystem.
Configuration details for each are documented in the following
protocol-specific guides:
HTTP
Tahoe runs a webserver by default on port 3456. This interface provides a
human-oriented "WUI", with pages to create, modify, and browse
directories and files, as well as a number of pages to check on the
status of your Tahoe node. It also provides a machine-oriented "WAPI",
with a REST-ful HTTP interface that can be used by other programs
(including the CLI tools). Please see `<frontends/webapi.rst>`_ for full
details, and the ``web.port`` and ``web.static`` config variables above.
The `<frontends/download-status.rst>`_ document also describes a few WUI
status pages.
CLI
The main "bin/tahoe" executable includes subcommands for manipulating the
filesystem, uploading/downloading files, and creating/running Tahoe
nodes. See `<frontends/CLI.rst>`_ for details.
FTP, SFTP
Tahoe can also run both FTP and SFTP servers, and map a username/password
pair to a top-level Tahoe directory. See `<frontends/FTP-and-SFTP.rst>`_
for instructions on configuring these services, and the ``[ftpd]`` and
``[sftpd]`` sections of ``tahoe.cfg``.
