I have a small file to be transferred between two computers every few

original thing that gets installed when I run "yum install php". As there is
no webserver on any of these machines, I was wondering if there is a way to
transfer a small file between them and if there is, could someone be kind
enough to provide me with an example please?
Thank You
You can use netcat (nc), but that doesn't run in daemon mode. You can
use them both ways (client / server, sending / receiving). You can use
them on the commandline with a cronjob or whatever.
Netcat makes it possible to do this, to send content over to port 2200
of 192.168.1.1:
cat textfile.txt | nc 192.168.1.1 2200
On 192.168.1.1 all you do is something like this:
nc -l -p 2200 > textfile.txt
I don't know all the options in depth and may not work like scp does
(which is way more secure).
So I would go with scp in a cronjob, but netcat is still an option.
