echo > file.bin
do you mean cat > file.bin ?
disconnect terminal (without closing pty),
How do you do that with ssh?
and dd binary at the /dev/pts entry.
I'm confused. the pseudo-terminal is allocated on the server, yes?
If you can bring up uudecode, uudecode - > file.bin paste uuencoded binary ctl+c, run
Most people dont' keep statically linked copies of uudecode installed. :-)
if you can bring up a new ssh session WITHOUT a controlling terminal or
shell (probably possible as that doesn't require spawning anything special),
just use scp
Do you know how to get scp to use an existing connection? ssh -h shows some options for not allocating a tty and not spawning a shell, maybe those options could be passed to scp using -o or something. --Ray
