Linux - easiest way to quickly transfer files on LAN
Make sure that you have netcat and tar available on both of your machines, Netcat and tar should be part of default Ubuntu installation.
Execute following commands on receiving computer:
cd /directory/to/receive/files nc -l 8888 | tar -xv
After that execute following on sending computer:
cd /directory/with/files/to/send tar -cv * | nc 10.10.10.10 8888
You can add -z to tar parameters to gzip files, which may be useful for transfers over Wi-Fi.
Thanks, Radek, worked fine for me in exactly the way you´ve described it :-)
