File2Net/Net2File

Parts of the eVLBI community use file transfer utilities from the Mark5 software suite distributed by MIT Haystack Observatory. The simplest of these are called File2Net and Net2File. They complement each other to transfer a single file over a single TCP connection.

File2Net usage

The File2Net command line is of the following form:

File2net HOSTNAME [FILENAME [STARTBYTE [ENDBYTE [DEBUG]]]]

where

HOSTNAME

is required and is the destination host to which the file will be sent.

FILENAME

is optional (default: save.data) and specifies the file whose contents will be sent to HOSTNAME STARTBYTE and ENDBYTE: can be used to specify a part of the file. You can pass "." to skip them.

DEBUG

can be used to select additional output. One has to specify "0" to activate debug output.
