Do you have any idea about a crazy fast way to transfer files between two machines on the internal network?
No encryption necessary
No integrity checks
No resume support
Just plain and as fast it could get..
I need to try the netcat version but I'm hoping someone could show me a concurrent version of it that is mad fast.
- int0x80 8y agoYou can use nc (netcat). If you have a 10G ethernet you will not saturate it because you will be limited by disk IO (I get 1Gb/s disk reads for a M.2 SSD). I you can read from disk faster, netcat alone will not saturate a 10G link, probably will hit a 3Gb/s limit (depending on your hw). You will need parallel transfers (xargs, a bit of scripting etc). You can also try rsync, maybe it is good enough for you.
