Take the tour ×  I'm using something like this to send file from
one computer to another:  To serve file (on computer A):  cat
something.zip | nc -l -p 1234  To receive file (on computer B):
netcat server.ip.here. 1234 > something.zip  My question is...
can I do the opposite? Let's say I have file on computer B and I
want to send it to A but not the way I wrote above, but by
making computer that's supposed to receive file (A) be
'listening' server and connect computer that's 'sending' file
(B) to server and send the file? Is it possible? I think it
might be but I'm not sure how to do this.  In case my above
explanation is messed up: How do I send file TO 'server' instead
of serving the file on server and then taking it FROM it (like I
did above)?  share|improve this question add comment  2 Answers

-q 1 > something.zip < /dev/null On your "sender client" (B):
cat something.zip | netcat server.ip.here 1234  share|improve
