In the .toml file you'll find all adjustable settings for Titan. Everything from the encryption layer in a group, to which files you share.

Please note: Not all elements here are in your .toml file, and they don't need to! Titan will automatically create missing fields if changed in-app.

global

user_colors defines {insert some smart sentence here}
active_tab defines which tab were last active when you close the app. Default = 0
auto_open defines whether tabs should be auto-opened when there's activity in them (e.g. download tab). Default = 1
statusbar defines whether the statusbar should be visible or not. Default = 1
timestamps defines whether timestamp should be visible or not. Default = 1
font_size defines the size of all texts in the app. Default = 13
theme defines the location of a CSS file to change the theme of Titan. Optional
upload_speed defines the throttling speed of uploads in Mbps. Default = 0 (no throttle)
download_speed defines the throttling speed of downloads in Mbps. Default = 0 (no throttle)
qt_geometry is just some Qt gibberish to remember the size and location of different windows. No need to change this.
qt_state is just some Qt gibberish to remember the size and location of different windows. No need to change this.

client

name is the name of your client.
threads defines the amount of concurrent threads the app will use when transferring files. Default = 4
enabled defines whether your client is enabled, and will automatically connect to the specified router once you open the app. Default = true
Note: this value will change depending on the state of your client when you close Titan. If your client is disconnected when you close the app, this value will become "false".
color defines the color of your client.

client.share

One [[client.share]] per folder/file shared.

path defines the location of the folder or file you want to share.
enabled defines whether you are actively sharing this file or folder when you are connected.

client.router

port is which port you will connect to. Default = 80
name is the local name of the router. Optional
enabled defines whether you'll connect or not when you start the app. Default = true
address is the address (either a URL or IP) E.g. router.demonsaw.com or 192.254.75.74
password defines a password for connecting to the router. Wrong password will make the router refuse connection. Default = ""

client.option

mode {insert smart sentence here as well}
timestamp defines the time/date format to use in chat. 12H format: "%I:%M:%S %p" 24H format: "%H:%M:%S"
max_downloads defines the max number of concurrent file downloads. Default = 4
salt defines the salt to apply to the hashing of your shred files/folders. Optional
hash defines the type of hashing you want to use for you shared files/folders. Default = md5
buffer_size defines the amount of chunks your client requests to be buffered by the router. Default = 16
path defines the default downloads path for your client. If none is specified, Windows will use "C:/Users/user/Downloads", and Linux will use "something".
chunk_size defines the size (in bytes) of each chunk to request from uploaders.
Note: If you have a slow/intermittent connection, you should considering lowering this value. Default = 786432
max_uploads defines the max number of concurrent file uploads. Default = 4

client.group

One [[client.group]] per layer of encryption. All layers will be combined for increased security. You will NOT join several groups with several layers!

enabled defines whether this certain layer is enabled and used or not. Default = true
cipher defines the type of cipher you want to use for this layer. Default = aes
percent defines the percent of the file/string/URL content you want to use. Nice to reduce when you have a large file. Default = 100.000
entropy defines the entropy of your layer. This can be a file, plain text string, or the content of a URL (HTTPS not supported (yet)). Required!
key_size defines the size of the key (in KB) used. Default = 256
salt defines the salt to be used along with the entropy in this layer. Optional
hash defines the type of hash to be used in this layer. Default = sha256
iterations defines the number of iterations for this layer. Note that the whole hashing/salting process is repeated for the entropy, therefore bigger sized entropy will take very long with more iterations. Default = 1

client.session

This is the options for the encryption of the session between you and the router.

cipher defines the type of cipher you want to use for this session. Default = aes
algorithm defines the type of algorithm to use when exchanging keys with the router. Default = dh
prime_size defines the size of your prime (in KB). Default = 128
key_size defines the size of the key (in KB). Default = 256
salt defines the salt to be used. Default = ""
hash defines the type of hash to use. Default = sha256
iterations defines the number of iterations for this encryption. Default = 1

client.verified

This field is normally absent, and will continue to be so until further notice...


Router

If you want to run your own router, these are the settings you need to care about. Note that you might need to do some port forwarding in order for others to connect to you.

enabled defines whether the router is enabled or not. Default = true
threads defines max threads that should be allocated to the router. Default = 128
Note: The more threads the more people can join the router (1 user will use around 2 threads or so).
name defines the (local) name of your router.
address defines the IP address your router should bind to. This should be "127.0.0.1", but can also be your internal IP.
Note: This is NOT the IP that others will use to connect to you with (unless they are on your local network). The IP others will have to use is you external IP, and can be found by simply searching for "What is my IP" on a search engine.
password defines the password required for client to connect to your router. Optional
port defines the port your router will bind to. Default = 8000
Note: Some operating systems restrict some port ranges (usually all ports < 1024). Default ports for HTTP & HTTPS are 80 & 443. For alternative ports, click here.

router.option

buffer_size defines the size of your buffer. Default = 32
motd defines the Message Of The Day, and is the message the router will send to a client that has successfully connected. Optional
redirect defines an URL that a user will be redirected to if connecting through a browser. Optional

router.room

This section creates a chat room available for anyone to join in the public group on your router. This room will not be available for anyone in a private group. One room is made for each copy of this section.

enabled defines whether the room is enabled or not. Default = true
name defines the name of the room as it is shown to connected clients.
color defines the color of the room. Because colors. Example: "#ffe56ffe"

router.router

This section defines your transfer router(s). Copy this section for however many transfer routers you want to use.

enabled defines whether this transfer router should be enabled or not. Default = true
name defines the (local) name of this transfer router.
address defines the address of your transfer router.
port defines the port to use for this transfer router. Default = 80
