Ncat FOR LINUX


Ncat was developed to facilitate seamless data transfer between hosts. It shares a similar syntax with the 'cat' command, but with the added capability to specify TCP streams alongside regular files.



Key Features:



  • Efficient data piping between hosts

  • Support for TCP streams

  • Simple syntax similar to 'cat' command

  • Fast data transfer rates

  • Minimum collisions compared to alternative tools



Technical Specifications:



  • Free to download

  • Includes RPM spec file for easy building

  • Compatible with Linux systems

  • Allows data backups across LAN



Ncat provides a reliable solution for backing up multiple machines across your LAN directly to a CD without the need for temporary disk space. It ensures minimal collisions during data transfer and maximizes the data transfer rate.



Usage Example:


For real-time printing of a growing logfile from machine one to machine two's lp0 dot matrix printer:



Machine one:


# tail -f logfile | ncat -o :0


ncat: listening on port 3724



Machine two:


# ncat one:3724 > /dev/lp0



If machine two is slow and log processing needs to be done on machine one:



Machine one:


# ncat :4321 | analyze



Machine two:


# ncat -o one:4321 example.log



For more detailed information about the command, refer to the ncat(1) manual.
