Indeed! I meant to mention the nc option, but I've found that ftpput/get are more often available than nc, perhaps something to do with the ubiquity of ftp.

- netsec_burn 10y agoMuch the other way around. Netcat is ubiquitous. I haven't come across many systems with ftpput and ftpget. Neat challenge left as an exercise to the reader: whois can be used to transfer files too. :)
- bitquark 10y agoInteresting, we must be looking at a different class of devices. If we're going down that road, there's always base64 and copy + paste!
- na85 10y ago>whois can be used to transfer files too. Ah, the old DNS-tunnelling trick. A fun way to flip cheap hotels the bird.
- micro_softy 10y agoHe is suggesting something much easier and different from DNS. WHOIS is one of the simplest internet protocols. The RFC is beautifully short. Unlike DNS, there's no rules on sizes of requests or responses, and it uses TCP by default. His suggestion deserves an upvote for its simplicity, elegance.
