- Hi all,
-
- I am looking for a couple programs, one which takes a hostname and optionally
- a port number, reads data from stdin and the other which runs on the remote
- machine writes all data received on a specified port to stdout.
-
- Why ? I don't really want to run NFS and want to be able to do remote
- backups, I do have the TCP/IP suite installed and would like to use
- it! For example:
-
- on my local machine ...
- tar -cvf / - | senddata <hostname> <port>
-
- on the remote machine ...
- recdata <port> > /dev/nrst8
-
- I am sure this must have been done before, if anyone knows of any
- such programs please let me know.
-
- Thanks,
-
- Reuben Wells
