Very good point..the plot thickens: Machine A: netcat 192.168.x.x 3555 Machine B: nc -l -p 3555
If I try to send a simple "hello world" between the two machines with the server on OS X and the client on Knoppix the "hello world" never makes it. However if I switch them around: Machine A: netcat -l -p 3555 Machine B: netcat 192.168.15.1999 3555 I can send "hello worlds" back and forth as expected. So it looks like, for whatever reason, I'll have to have the knoppix box grab the socket and write to it with Machine B (the os x box) as the client. Why? Dunno. Just is. I'll see how that works out.

iptables? I don't know what Knoppix' default ruleset is, but I suspect by now (version 4.0 they're up to, right?) it wouldn't be "wide-frikkin-open". That'd be my first guess, and is frequently the thing I forget when trying to move packets around linux machines. In short, make sure the kernel's firewall is accepting connections on your port of choice. ~Brian Greg Brown wrote: > Machine A: dead PC running Knoppix, all drives are mounted and can be > "ls"ed, "df"'ed, etc > Machine B: OS X were I'd like to move data from Machine A > > Machine B (destination): nc -l -p 4444 | tar x > > Machine A (source): tar cf - * | netcat 192.168.x.x 4444 (where x.x is of > course machine A) > > This does not work.
