Two quick options even more lightweight than rsh are netcat (base system) and ttcp (in ports). Usage examples: host2$ ttcp -r | tar xvf - host1$ tar cf - . | ttcp -t host2 host2$ nc -l 1234 | tar xvf - host1$ tar cf - . | nc host2 1234 -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
