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.
