Okay, if every possibility is what you want to learn you cannot miss the excellent combination of nc and cpio: On your target (bob): % cd targetdir % nc -l -p 6060 alice | cpio -iv On your source (alice): % cp sourcedir % find -print0 | cpio -ov0 | nc bob 6060 nc is short for netcat, it will listen on bob (-l) on port 6060 (-p 6060) for alice. The input comes from bob, who is sending the message via nc. In short it's like a pipe over the network (unencrypted, use cryptcat if your network is not trustworthy). cpio (copy in / copy out) does the actual data transfer. On bob the mode is copy in (-i) and on alice it's copy out (-o). To see what's being transferred you can use (- v). Finally, you can use find (-print0 / -0) to pipe the names of files to be transferred to cpio.
