You can download and upload files using ftp(1).
I use to do it since OpenBSD 2.9, using standard floppies.
i think he wants to do something like
ftp -u /tmp/thingy ftp://myserver/pub/incoming/dmesg.txt
to upload /tmp/thingy to myserver, or
dd if=/dev/wd0c bs=256k | ftp -u - ftp://myserver/pub/incoming/
wd0c.img
to send a disk image someplace.
more than once i've built static copies of nc and brought them into
the ramdisk with ftp just so that i could send disk images out...
Yep, the point is that in lots of situations, you need to get info/
data on/off a machine 'running' bsd.rd, and nc is, in best unix
tradition, a simple, efficient , and very convenient tool to do so.
You don't even need the hassle of firing up ftpd and sorting accounts
etc on another machine, nc will do there too.
Since there are already several different versions of restricted
space 1.44MB floppy images (floppy/B/C), and also fuller featured CD
fs, maybe nc could be added just to the CD version?
