netcat

My. Debian. » Something you should know…

Let’s say you want to establish a communication between two hosts (we will call them client and server); you could easily do it with:

server> nc -l -p 10000

client> nc server 10000

In this way, thanks to nc (a word that stands for netcat, that is cat over network) every string is typed by any of the parties is instantly transmitted to the other.
