Hello list, from my research, the abbreviated takeaway is:
> port=8000 # just an example > filename=test.bin # created before > > # Start the receiver first, like: > mbuffer -I $port -o $filename > > # Then start the sender like: > mbuffer -i $filename -O ${receiverIP}:$port On my LAN (all virtual, at the moment), this fails, because the sender cannot connect to the receiver, so times out. What left me puzzled is this: Just starting the receiver, and then checking, if it is listening at the $port, i found: > sudo netstat | grep $port to return nothing At that point, i decided, i would appreciate some hint from people more experienced than i am. What am i doing wrong? DdB
