Netcat-based LAN file transfer utility (tiny)
Posted: Fri 22 Jan 2010, 13:27
Dear puppians,
I notice there is some useful work going on regarding file sharing using Samba. In my view, Samba is a big, fat pig and, because I really have no reason to boot windows, I cobbled together a little script that uses a patched Debian netcat to transfer files within a LAN environment. It is not perfect, but does the job of transferring individual files. Next I will try to include directories, which netcat can do. I have attached the script and the Debian netcat (because it has the -q option). Please have a look. Perhaps somebody may want to give this script a gtkdialog front end.
With kind regards,
vovchik
PS. Unpack the archive and read readme.txt for setup instructions.
