Sanguinews is a simple, commandline client for Usenet(nntp) uploads. Inspired by newsmangler. Sanguinews is written in ruby(yenc encoding is done in C). Supports multithreading and SSL.
Because of some C code, C compiler is needed(GCC or Apple's clang). On Debian-based systems it can be installed by:
apt-get install build-essential
Debian systems need also additional ruby development headers:
apt-get install ruby-dev
Now you can simply install sanguinews as a gem:
gem install sanguinews
You will get a sample config in your home directory when you run sanguinews for the first time. Open it in your favourite text editor and adjust accordingly:
vi ~/.sanguinews.conf
Hopefully comments inside will explain everything.
To upload a file:
sanguinews -f file_to_upload
To upload a directory:
sanguinews /path/to/directory
