@Rizwan,

You should install and enable epel repository to install netcat package as shown:

# yum install epel-release
# yum install nc

Thank you Ravi for useful info. However while I am trying to install nc on CentOS, I receive the following message – ‘No package netcat available’

Sweet,

On Ubuntu I use woof which enables the client to use the browser to download the file, but since I can’t get woof to work on Fedora this is a excellent workaround. Thanks!

@Jj,

Yes, no need of SSH configured on client nor any username/password its just works on TCP port, and yes it is very useful in sharing files in no time without any clients..

Any good feature? remote does not need to have configured ssh.. No logins no passwords.. You can stream only one file for your colleague in office very quick just tell him ip and port… In the office this approach has more advantages than sharing your whole /home with ssh :)
