Show HN: Transfer files to and from embedded systems easily with Teleporter
- theamk 5y agoI am confused -- why is this better than "rsync"? Or ssh-based file transfer (sftp/scp)? Also, regarding readme's first paragraph: > You don't have to run a separate command with file redirection for each file you wish to transfer. did you know about "tar | nc" trick? It uses "tar" so it can do as many files as you want, and it can do renaming etc... device# nc -l 9999 | tar cvf - host# tar cf - file1 file2 dir3/ | nc 10.20.30.40 9999
- geno_nullfree 5y agoOn some of the embedded systems I have used this on they don't have scp/rsync/etc and I have found it easier to cross compile this as a standalone application rather than the others. And no I hadn't thought of that "tar | nc" trick, that's pretty neat. Thanks for sharing it!
- geno_nullfree 5y agoTeleporter is a small application I wrote to make transferring files to and from embedded systems easier than using `nc` or `tftp`. Each Teleporter binary can act as a server or client, so you can easily send or receive files depending on how you call them. I'm open to feedback and suggestions, either here or in GitHub issues. Let me know what you think and how I can improve it!
