Thanks Bas,

I am well aware of the possibilities of cat and netcat (actually, I prefer the program ‘socket’). The cons however are too big to make it any success. It *has* to work in a firewalled setup (using UPnP is promising) and it *has* to be Very Easy.

Thanks for the comment,
Bart

hi bart, nice blog you have!

Not a nice gui solution, but if both sides use linux (or windows cygwin+ssh) and you have no firewall issues (or nat port-forwarding setup on i.e. port 2222)

on the target (listening)~# nc -l -p 2222 | cat > hugefile

on the source (sending)~# cat hugefile | nc target-hostname 2222

pros: works all the time, even with terabytes of data
cons: no encrytion, no gui, needs port forwarding on target.

Another more simple option is to setup a webserver on the source machine and just serve the file via http.

Looks good, but has a few problems:
- File size limit in transfer is 200MB (http://www.mikogo.com/en/product/features/#transfer)
- There is no Linux version
- Mikogo is a third party. If they decide to ask money, you’re stuck again.

Use Mikogo to take over someone’s computer and just drag and drop your files from one end to the other…
