quick file transfer
needing to transfer a large in a reasonable amount of time, its time for quick and simple transfer with netcat.
Important thing to note, this is being done in a datacenter not over the internet.
First setup the server:
tar c directory | nc -w 10 -l 7878
then setup the client:
nc -w 10 server 7878 | tar -x
transfer times on this are roughly 100 mbs a second on a gigabit switch
