I'd never though of that, so simple!
# On the receiver
nc -l 9000 > output.file
# On the sender
nc 172.17.0.7 9000 < input.file
My only issue is that it seems to hang after it's done. What am I missing?
- bcook 5y agoProbably something about EOL, end-of-feed, CRLF-translation or something similar? Netcat has plenty of (confusing) options, but there's usually a solution.
- majewsky 5y agoIt also depends on which netcat you use. I usually use ncat (which comes with nmap) with the following invocations, and that never gave me any encoding/EOF/CRLF trouble: # on sender ncat --send-only --listen 12345 < file.zip # then, on receiver ncat --recv-only 1.2.3.4 12345 > file.zip
