That, and you don't really need nc on the client side. I believe most browsers would download the file even though nc won't send any HTTP headers. If that's not the case, try something like: printf 'HTTP/1.0 200 OK\nContent-Type: application/octet-stream\n\n' | cat - /etc/passwd | nc -l 9999 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
