IP Messenger——局域网内完美传输工具

2007年12月2日

IP Messenger是一个完美的局域网软件，第一个版本诞生于1996年8月，至今已经超过10年。软件不需要服务器端也不需要安装，就可以在局域网内实现消息和文件（文件夹）的传输。
软件可运行于多种操作平台(Win/Mac/UNIX/Java)，实现跨平台信息交流。通讯数据采用RSA/Blofish加密，最大程度的保护了隐私。

我用了一下，发现软件很小巧，启动之后就自动进入了托盘，点开托盘图标后就出现了发消息的界面。上面是用户列表，下面是消息输入框。右击空白位置出现菜单，里面有传输文件（文件夹）等选项，很方便。

右击托盘图标出现软件主菜单，里面有很多选项，包括设置IP Messenger的各项参数，可以最大程度的定义软件各个地方。

IP Messenger是一个日本人写的，最新版本是v2.50 alpha7 (ENG/JAP)，有中文汉化版。官方网站是http://www.ipmsg.org/

3. Requirements

   MS Windows 95/98/Me/NT4.0/2000/XP/2003
   95/98/NT4.0 ... require comctl32.dll version 5.x or later.
   (If it is installed IE 5.x or later, comctl32.dll will be upgraded)

   Note: For Windows 3.1(and NT3.5x), use IP Messenger for Win16

----------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Usage

<Install/Uninstall>
   You can install IPMsg into the specified folder and setup or
   re-setup into startup with setup.exe.
   If needed, you can uninstall from control panel.

<Task tray icon>
   Left double click on the icon opens a Send Message window.
   Right single click on the icon opens IPMsg menu such as setting,
   absence mode, etc.

<Send Message Window>
   If [Seal] is checked, it will be sealed message.
   If [Lock] is checked, it will be locked message. The receiver must
   use *receiver's own* password to open a locked message.

   To transfer File/Folder, Drag & Drop File/Folder to Send Window.
   (or selec right button menu on Send Window)

     File/Folder transfer can't be completed until a receiver starts
     to download the file. If a sender re-starts IPMSG, the attachment
     file information becomes clear, and a receiver will not be able
     to download the file.)

   The order of Send Message window header item list can be changed
   by Drag & Drop. Right click and select "Save List Header" for
   saving order.

   Prefix mark of the user list
     ':' indicates absence mode.
     '|' indicates v1.x user. (not supporting File/Folder transfer
         and encryption of commnication data)
     '|'(short line) indicates only for File/Folder transfer.

   Right click on the window and select from the menu: Sort/Filter,
   Group Select, Search User Ctl+F, File Transfer, (Folder)Transfer,
   Save List Header, Font Setting, Size Setting, Fix Position, Disp Setting.

   Sort/Filter display order priority
     Sort priority is from small to large number.
     If there are identical priority data, then go to the detail
     setting -> approx. level user sort setting

<Receive Message Window>
   Right click on the window and select from the menu: Font Setting,
   Size Setting, Fix Position.

   '+' or '-' charactor in Receive Window title means
   Encryption of commnication data in LAN.
   ('+' means RSA/1024bit and blowfish/128bit encryption)
   ('-' means RSA/512bit and RC2/40bit encrytion)

   If you receive a message with an attachment, then an attachment
   button will be displayed. Folder transfer data can't be overwritten.

<Others>
   To make connection to WAN through router, Broadcast setting will
   be required. (See in Broadcast setting for detail).

   Other features are easy to understand.
   Try first, you will see it. (See 8.Appendices and 10.History)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Others

- Setting is saved in the following registry key.
   \HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareHSToolsIPMsgEng
   (If port number has been set, IPMsg + port number)
   When changing your registry number, please re-start ipmsg.

- Password for Lock and Seal is saved in registry with encording.

   *******************************************************************
   * If you forget the password, remove it in the following registry *
   * key.  \HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareHSToolsIPMsgEngPasswordStr *
   *******************************************************************

- This software can be used for Mail delivery check.
   Check URL at [Support],You will find UNIX mail server software.

- Normally use 2425 port for TCP/UDP. (See 8. Appendices)
   Use 2425 port only for UDP with no File(Folder) Transfer.
   (These ports should be activated when using firewall software.)

- Protocol specification comes with source.(Japanese)

- Broadcast messaging happens only at [Start/End], [Absencemode],
   [Refresh].

- Compiled by Visual C++4.1(J)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
6. WAN settings (Broadcast Settings)

- All bits of Host part have to be 1 in the receiver's IP address.
   For example, connect to Class C(network 24bit, host 8bit) address
   "aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd", broadcast address will be "aaa.bbb.ccc.255".
   If network uses subnet, it may not work.

- For more detail check TCP/IP books or ask network administrators.

- If you have difficulty to connect, especially over two or more
   router connection. Set IP addresses independent.

- For dialup connection, check [Dialup connection] box on.
   When press [Refresh], member list doesn't go off.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Appendices

- At startup IPMSG software, you can specify UDP/TCP port number.
   IPMSG can run at multiple sessions.
   For example, using [ipmsg.exe 2426] command, you can contact only
   people who are using 2426 port.

- You can run as much as you want using different port number.

- Using more UDP/TCP port number, then 1024 is recommended.
   (Between 10000 - 60000 may be more safer)
   For example, Known NFS software uses 2049/UDP.
   Ask network administrator

- Specifing NIC (for multi NIC environment)
   ipmsg.exe [port] /NIC nic_ipaddr
   ex) C:> ipmsg.exe /NIC 192.168.10.100

- Command Line support
   ipmsg.exe [port] /MSG [/LOG][/SEAL] <hostname or IPaddr> <message>
   ex) C:> ipmsg.exe /MSG /SEAL localhost Hello.

- Tips.

   1. CTL+D ... boss is coming.(toggle of hide/show windows)

   2. CTL+RefreshButton ... remain existing members, and refresh

   3. ALT+CTL+'S'/'R' ... Send/Recv Hotkey (need detail settings)

   4. CTL+F ... open search user box in send window

   如果需要删除 IPMsg, 请先从控制面板中卸载, 再手动删除 IPMsg 目录.

< 系统托盘区图标 >
   左键双击图标, 即可打开发送消息窗口.
   右键点击图标, 可进入 [服务设置], [离开] 等.

< 发送消息窗口 >
- 发送消息时, 若勾选了 [封装],  则接收者要先打开信封才能看到消息,
   如果你还勾选了 [上锁], 则接收者在打开信封时还需要输入密码.
   (密码是由接收者自己在 [服务设置] 中设置的)

- 若要发送文件/文件夹, 可直接将文件/文件夹拖入发送消息窗口
   或在发送消息窗口上点击右键, 再选择发送文件或发送文件夹

   - 传送文件/文件夹时, 当接收者还没有保存(下载)文件/文件夹时,
     若发送者关闭或重启了 IPMsg, 则附带的文件信息将被清除,
     接收者将不能继续接收(下载)到此文件.

- 用户列表前缀符号说明
   ":" 表示用户处于离开模式.
   "|" 表示用户使用的不是 2.0 以上版本的 IPMsg,
       将不支持文件/文件夹的传送, 并且不支持通信数据加密.
   "|"(短线) 表示只支持文件/文件夹的传送.

- 拖动列表表头标题项可改变其顺序, 并可点击右键选择"保存列表顺序"

- 在消息输入窗口中, 可使用 Ctrl+Tab 输入制表符 Tab.

- 在发送消息窗口上点击右键, 可以进入设置显示优先级, 选择工作组,
   搜索用户(Ctrl+F), 传送文件, 传送文件夹, 保存列表顺序, 字体设置,
   窗口大小设置, 固定窗口位置, 列表显示设置.

     或者隐藏不需要联系的用户

< 接收消息窗口 >
- 在接收消息窗口上点击右键, 可以进入字体设置,
   窗口大小设置, 固定窗口位置.

- 接收消息窗口标题栏中的 "+" 或 "-" 表示通信数据使用了加密算法

   "-" 表示 RSA/512 位, RC2/40 位加密

- 如果你收到的消息附带了文件, 将会显示出附件按钮.
   点击按钮即可保存文件.

< 其他 >
- 如果需要(通过路由器)连接到广域网, 则需要设置广播地址.
   详见广域网设置(广播设置)

- 其它功能都很容易理解, 你试一试就明白了

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. 相关信息

- 所有的设置信息都保存在注册表的以下位置:
   \HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareHSTools

   用户密码以不可逆加密方式存储.
   *******************************************************************
   * 如果你忘记了密码, 可以在注册表中将此键值删除                    *
   * \HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareHSToolsIPMsgEngPasswordStr       *
   *******************************************************************

- 本软件使用的默认端口为 2425
   若仅使用 UDP 协议的端口, 将不能传送文件/文件夹
   (如果安装了防火墙, 则必须打开相应的 TCP 和 UDP 端口)

- 本软件为自由软件, 你可以随意传播, 但源码使用请参见许可协议.

- 只有在启动或退出程序, 使用离开模式, 刷新在线用户时 IPMsg 才会进行消息广播.

- 本软件由 Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 编译

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. 广域网设置(广播设置)

- 主机号全部为 1 的 IP 地址, 即广播地址
   例如, 连接到一个 C 类子网(即 24 位网络号, 8 位主机号), IP 地址为
   aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd, 其广播地址即为: aaa.bbb.ccc.255
   若对方处于另一个私有子网中, 广播可能无效.

- 更多问题, 请参阅相关资料或咨询你的网络管理员.

- 若两台主机的连接经过了多个路由器, 请直接指定对方IP地址

- 拨号上网用户请勾选 [拨号连接]
   当刷新在线用户列表时, 列表不会被清空

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. 补充

- 启动飞鸽传书前, 你可以指定其运行时使用的端口,
   且可以使用不同的端口打开多个窗口. 用法如下：
   ipmsg.exe 2426 (你可在快捷方式上设置)
   但是你只能与同时也使用该端口的用户通信.

- 所以你尽可选用你喜欢的端口运行本软件.
   介于 10000 至 60000 可能更安全些.
   你也可以咨询你的网络管理员.

- 如果有多个网卡(IP), 你可以将飞鸽传书与指定的网卡(IP)进行绑定.
   命令格式如下(你可以在快捷方式上设置):
   ipmsg.exe [端口] /NIC IP地址
   例如:
   C:>ipmsg.exe /NIC 192.168.10.100

- 支持命令方式发送消息
   命令格式如下：
   ipmsg.exe [端口] /MSG [/LOG][/SEAL] <主机名或IP地址> <消息>
   例如：
   C:>ipmsg.exe /MSG /SEAL localhost Hello.

- 操作技巧.

   1. 隐藏/显示窗口  Ctrl + D

   2. 按住 Ctrl 键再点 [刷新] 可保持现有用户, 搜索新上线的用户

   3. 打开发送/接收消息窗口  Ctrl + Alt + S / R (需要进行详细设置)

   4. 打开搜索窗口  Ctrl + F

   5. 接收到多个文件, 保存时可勾选 [全部]
