Transfer.sh – Easy file sharing from the command line

Re: Transfer.sh – Easy file sharing from the command line
#52Earlier quoted context omitted.
Netcat is seriously awesome, and still exists very much under the radar of a lot of people. I've used to to copy files around the planet, the datacenter, and the lab. It excels at doing things "right now". If I have a terminal window open on a server in France and one in the US; then I can easily move that file. However, If I have to move my body to the target location before I can copy the file it doesn't work as we…
I would like to know if there are any advantages to use nc instead of scp ?
I forgot to mention.
1 tremendous advantage to netcat:
SPEED.
This is the only "real-world" way to test line speed. 0 overhead, no faffing about services.
If you can't get line-rate speed on your LAN with this your hardware needs to be looked at.
iperf is handy, netcat is raw and real.

#54Not to put transfer.sh down - it's very useful in many situations, I'm sure! - but I just run a permanent webserver on all the machines I want to share files from. I discuss this more in http://catern.com/computers.html
I find that's a very easy approach.

#55For text I like http://termbin.com . It just accepts text on port 9999, no HTTP required.
Just text, you say?

Considering that a small deviation from a cryptographic protocol could fully turn cipher text to plaintext in a revered tool frequently recommended in HN: https://redrocket.club/posts/croc/ I would hesitate a bit before rushing to use cool kids’ software (until it’s sufficiently proven).

#57I've not been using this tool, but I'm happy to see that on HN: It's a project one of my teammates is working on :P

I see that you run nix - with the help of a configuration.nix and perhaps home manager you could have several identical machines.
It won't remove the file transfer problem though, but perhaps a shared git-annex repo or a memory stick would do.

#59Since we're listing alternatives, here's the one I made: https://nopaste.net -- It's open source and available on https://github.com/binwiederhier/pcopy curl usage is available via: "curl nopaste.net".
Neat! This looks like the closest thing to what I'm looking for when I ssh somewhere and I don't want to cat the file, mark, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, copy, and paste into a gist.
