Here is the link:

http://www.zoran.net/wm_resources/netcat_hobbit.asp

It takes standard out and redirects it to an ip and port. We use it to
transfer large amounts of data over our network. You start a listener and
pipe a command to it. On the target you have a nc connect to the other and
pipe it to the target command.

IE
on the host tar cvf - * |nc -l 1000

on the dest nc hostname 1000|tar xvf -

I think the above syntax is correct. (I am not at a place I can verify it.)

What is netcat? There is no man page entry for it.
Thanks.
