FWIW, I find hose and faucet useful. I commonly use two scripts to do simple file transfer. 'tar' is the "protocol".. ;)
wwserve.sh: --- #!/bin/bash if [ "$1" == "" ]; then echo "Usage: `basename $0` [tar options] <files>" else echo -e "Starting faucet...\n" faucet 12345 --verbose --out --once tar -cvf- "$@" fi --- wwget.sh: --- #!/bin/bash if [ "$1" = "" ]; then echo "Usage: `basename $0` <remotehost> [tar options/files to get]" else remotehost="${1}"; shift hose "${remotehost}" 12345 --in tar -xvf- "$@" fi --- Notes: . no security is provided with this . the serve script is set to --once, ie. services one request and terminates . you'll want to change the port listed here, 12345 *grin*.. (no, I don't actually use that). . hose and faucet are part of a package called (?)netpipes in Slackware This is uni-directional. I don't know what your need is. You could put a evil twin on 12346 to receive files.
