Hi Chandana,

 Assuming you need to send some file( very large) from hostA to hostB. As
mininet creates actual linux instances, you can use netcat.
simple steps:
1. get the large file into VM or to the OS where mininet is running.
2. > xterm hostA, you will get a terminal for hostA(assuming it as server)
type in the terminal 'nc -l 5678 > /dev/null'. i.e hostA is listening on
port 5678.
3 > xterm hostB, you will get a terminal for hostB(assuming it as client
sending file) type in 'nc <ip address of hostA> <port no- here it is 5678>
< filename'

4. optionally  use time command along with it, if you want to check time
for file transfer in client side.

regards,
basavesh
