From the tcpcat README:
|
|
|
|
Tcpcat is a simple program that is like `cat' but it works over tcp streams
|
|
to allow you to cat from one host to another.
|
|
|
|
The host common way to use this program whould be something like this:
|
|
on host a: $ tcpcat -l 93255 | gzip -dc | tar xvf -
|
|
on host b: $ tcpcat -h hosta:93255 file.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
Another good use for this program is debugging network stuff. When debugging
|
|
a newtork client or server you can pipe the output of tcpcat to a hex dump
|
|
(I recomend xxd which comes with vim). Also it can act as a crude telnet server
|
|
when invoded with --listen, --input, and --output, this mode is quite useful
|
|
for network program debugging as well.
