TCPpipe is a console-based software solution that enables the transfer of data over a network efficiently. It is a lightweight tool that can transfer any data with ease.
TCPpipe is a console-tool designed to transfer any type of data over a network. It requires to be run on both hosts in order to establish a TCP connection. Once this connection is established, the tool enables standard input on one host to be sent to standard output on the other, creating a pipeline between two processes running on different hosts.
This program is incredibly useful given its simplicity, with just a few steps required to get started. To compile, users simply need to type "$ make". Once compiled, they can copy the binary to their preferred location (for example, "# cp tcppipe /usr/local/bin").
TCPpipe's versatility extends to a variety of usage examples. For instance, it can be used to transfer files without the need for an FTP or HTTP server. On host A, the command tcppipe --listen --port 1100 --send < file-on-A can be used, while on host B, the command tcppipe --connect --port 1100 --receive host.name.of.A > file-on-B can be used. The program can even be used to transfer multiple files using tar.
In addition, TCPpipe supports gzip compression, which can be done by piping output through gzip and using tcppipe --send or --receive flags.
The latest release of TCPpipe includes improved documentation, an enhanced Makefile, support for resolving host names, and additional parameter checks. Overall, TCPpipe is a simple yet powerful tool for transferring data across networks.
