Never used the netcat before
============================

I know that  the netcat(1) is cool  but I never needed  to actually use
it.  Until today.  I  have  had two  Linux  laptops without  configured
SSH/FTP or anything like that. I  needed to transfer some date from one
to another. Both were on a local WiFi network.

The NetCAT means cat(1) ower the network, right?


So on the target one it was:

netcat -l -p 66 |tar xvf -

and on the source machine it was:

tar czvf - directory | netcat 10.0.1.xx 66

The port must be specified on  both. And I probably should the bzip2(1)
(the "j" instead of the "z" flag for the tar(1)) to make it faster. The
stuff worked anyway.  I know it's probably insecure but  it was a local
network.
