ncp (fast file copy tool for LANs)
|
||
|
||
"ncp" is a utility for copying files in a LAN. It has absolutely no
|
||
security or integrity checking, no throttling, no features, except
|
||
one: you don't have to type the coordinates of your peer.
|
||
|
||
Basically it works like this:
|
||
|
||
1. You and your buddy want to play Quake.
|
||
2. Your buddy has a level that you don't have.
|
||
3. He types "npush filename" and waits. npush sends out UDP
|
||
announcement packets proclaiming that someone wants to send
|
||
something.
|
||
4. You type "npoll". npoll waits until it sees one of these packets.
|
||
5. The files are copied with tar over a TCP socket, so permissions
|
||
and file dates (and if you are root, owners) are preserved.
