or transfering the file by embedding its contents as the payload of ping packets, using ethereal to sniff them, and recreating the file manually on the other side. Oh, wait. I guess that would be easier from the linux side :) In that case, maybe it'd be easier to just recreate the use the following procedure: mkfifo /tmp/million_monkeys cat /dev/urandom > /tmp/million_monkeys dd if=/tmp/million_monkeys of=mydata bs=(insert size of data here) count=1 You should probably get your data, provided your data contains Shakespeare. Alternatively, you may end up with my data, which _is_ Shakespeare. If you do get my data, I'd like it back. Don't worry about sending it back. I'll just recreate it myself.
