Working on different machines with different accounts, I had to move lots of files between them. It took a lot of time to use ftp again and again. So I decided to write this nice little program which facilitates this task.
Consider a host where you want to put some files from another host to. All you have to do is:
1) Start the program (Server part) with a portnumber of your choice (portnumbers between 1025 and 32767 are always legal unless they are in use--then simply choose another portnumber):
Example: pftp 1234
2) Now start the program (Client part) on that host where you want to send files from. You have to choose the same portnumber as is chosen with the server part of the program at the destination host. So in our example this is '1234'. Then enter the name of the host which will receive the files, and finaly the files you want to send:
Example: pftp 1234 destinationhost files
