For clarity of instructions, we will use the following terminology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Server = Remote system, typically like a web server
Client = Local system, the computer\/vm you are using<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Run the following command on the server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
cat file.txt | nc -l -p 1234<\/pre>\n\n\n\nClient<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Now on the client we can download the file with the following. Change the IP to the Server IP address<\/p>\n\n\n\n
nc 192.168.1.20 1234 > file.txt<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Upload from Client to Server<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If we want to reverse this, aka. send a file from the client to the server, we can do the following<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Server<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This will write the file to file.txt<\/p>\n\n\n\n
nc -l -p1234 -q 1 > file.txt < \/dev\/null<\/pre>\n\n\n\nClient<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Send file.txt to 192.168.1.20. Change the file and IP address as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
