If SCP/SFTP is not an option and you've got netcat installed on the target you can definitely perform some magic. now of course this does require you to log in on the destination though ~~ Receiving system `# nc -l -p $arbitraryPort > /path/to/file ` ~~ Sending system `# cat /path/to/file | nc $receivingSystemIP -p $arbitraryPort ` eg: `# nc -l -p 9669 > /home/user/staging/httpd.conf ` `# cat /etc/httpd/httpd.conf | nc 10.50.50.1 -p 9669 ` This method is a useful feather to have in one's cap when used in combination with tar and Pipeviewer `pv`. I've used this several times doing a backup of a large database and when I don't have enough space locally to hold the copy.
