<ARCHIVE> Wilmer's stuff

There are plenty of articles about this already, but I couldn't find anyone who wrote a script to automate this simple task of transferring files using just netcat.



Run it and it will give you a command to run/copy-paste on the remote side/pass to the person who wants the file. It uses pv as a nice progress indicator, and the script assumes pv is available on both sending and receiving ends. But that's good, everyone should have pv installed on his/her machine.

I'd just include the code in this little article, but Serendipity would screw up the layout completely, so instead you can download it here.
