Hello folks,
In the help menu (mu 12.0) the is a section wich describes a pc to
pc connection, using netcat. Not the pc2pc documentation but the
unix-tips.eng, lines 257,261,282 and 283.
However, it doesn't describe if this would work over a network, a
serial cable, modem or all these possibilitys together.
Since I don't know what all the portnumbers are good for ( it didn't
connect) I tried now to do this with IP-numbers
IP-adresses are : 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 ; Ping command
works fine, but the command # nc -n 192.168.1.1 > /myfile.tgz
results in the message: no ports found.
On the other computer I issue the command: # cat myfile.tgz | nc -l
-n 192.168.1.2
So why does the documentation mention port 5555 ?
What are port numbers for?
Do I have to disable the PYGMY server?
Greetings, Jef Knoors
