Package: netcat Version: 1.10-21 Hi, I'm trying to shovel a large amount of data (800GB) between two machines, so have a pair of tar's running over netcat as follows:
on the source: tar -clf- . | nc destination 6666 on the destination: nc -l -p 6666 | tar -xpf - I had these running in a background'ed nohup and after a while the copying stopped and bash told me that the backgrounded destination package had stopped waiting for input; sure enough I 'fg'd it and hit return a few times and it carried on its way. Its done this a few times in the middle of this large transfer; but probably managed well over 50GB before it hit this. (Both machines are woody/x86 connected via GbE) Dave -----Open up your eyes, open up your mind, open up your code ------- / Dr. David Alan Gilbert | Running GNU/Linux on Alpha,68K| Happy \ \ gro.gilbert @ treblig.org | MIPS,x86,ARM,SPARC,PPC & HPPA | In Hex / \ _________________________|_____ http://www.treblig.org |_______/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
