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. example: host a: $ tcpcat -l 63255 | gzip -dc | tar xvf - host b: $ tcpcat -h hosta:63255 tcpcat-X.X.X.tar.gz

Features

  • Easy tool for streaming tar archives from one unix box to another
  • Handy for network debugging, can operate as an in/out pass through while logging data
  • Support TCP and UNIX sockets
