This article will explain in detail how to use netcat for file transfer. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it for you as a reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

First, take a look at the help information.

$nc-hOpenBSD netcat (Debian patchlevel 1.105-7ubuntu1) This is nc from the netcat-openbsd package. An alternative nc is availablein the netcat-traditional package.usage: nc [- 46bCDdhjklnrStUuvZz] [- I length] [- I interval] [- O length] [- P source_port] [- Q seconds] [- s source] [- T toskeyword] [- V rtable] [- w timeout] [- X proxy_protocol] [- x proxy_address [: port]] [destination] [port] Command Summary:- 4 Use IPv4-6 Use IPv6-b Allow broadcast-C Send CRLF as line-ending-D Enable the debug socket option-d Detach from stdin-h This help text-I length TCP receive buffer length-i secs Delay interval for lines sent Ports scanned-j Use jumbo frame-k Keep inbound sockets open for multiple connects-l Listen mode For inbound connects-n Suppress name/port resolutions-O length TCP send buffer length-P proxyuser Username for proxy authentication-p port Specify local port for remote connects-q secs quit after EOF on stdin and delay of secs-r Randomize remote ports-S Enable the TCP MD5 signature option-s addr Local source address-T toskeyword Set IP Type of Service-t Answer TELNET negotiation-U Use UNIX domain socket-u UDP Mode-V rtable Specify alternate routing table-v Verbose-w secs Timeout for connects and final net reads-X proto Proxy protocol: "4" "5" (SOCKS) or "connect"-x addr [: port] Specify proxy address and port-Z DCCP mode-z Zero-I/O mode [used for scanning] Port numbers can be individual or ranges: lo-hi [inclusive]

Port scan:

$nc-z-v-n 127.0.0.1 20-100...Connection to 127.0.0.1 80 port [tcp/*] succeeded.

Simple file transfer:

Client:

$nc-l 192.168.1.11 1234 > passwd.txt &

Server:

$nc 192.168.1.11 1234 < / etc/passwd

Or it could be.

Cat / etc/passwd | nc 192.168.1.11 1234

The server ip is 192.169.1.11 and the port is 1234

In this way, it couldn't be better when two linux machines need to simply transfer files.
