TCPpipe Description

TCPpipe provides a small console-tool to transfer any data over a network. TCPpipe provides a small console-tool to transfer any data over a network.TCPpipe is a small console-tool to transfer any data over a network. TCPpipe has to be run on both hosts. After establishing a TCP connection, the standard input on one host is sent to standard output on the other host. This can be used to create something like a pipeline between two processes which run on different hosts. TCPpipe is a very simple program, but it can be very useful. To compile type:$ makeThen copy the binary where you want, for instance:# cp tcppipe /usr/local/binUSAGE EXAMPLES:For example you can transfer files without an FTP or HTTP server:On host A:tcppipe --listen --port 1100 --send < file-on-AOn host B:tcppipe --connect --port 1100 --receive host.name.of.A > file-on-B(The port 1100 is only an example, change the file- and hostnames.)You could even transfer many files with tar:tar -cOf file1 file2 dir/* | tcppipe -lp1100tcppipe -cp1100 192.168.0.5 | tar -xf -To gzip the data do this:prog-producing-output | gzip | tcppipe --send ...tcppipe --receive ... | gunzip | prog-reading-inputWhat's New in This Release:· all the documentation stuff + improved Makefile· support for resolving host names· additional parameter checks
