Re: getting files off a remote machinex

Just use netcat (nc) for moving things around.

First use telnet so that you have both machines visible.

In one machine, do something like:

cd ROOTDIR; nc -l -p 12345 | cpio -iuvmd

on the other, something like:

find PATHS | cpio -o | nc HOSTNAME 12345

Yes, you can use nfs, or rsh/rshd, or httpd, or wget,
but netcat is almost foolproof and almost always works
in all situations.

It is simple, reliable, fast, and good to have in your bag of tricks.
