Writing data on a Windows machine to a Linux machine

[Kurt Buff]

Not necessarily looking for code here - more of a question on how to approach the problem so that I can research it - unless of course someone has already solved this problem and can point me to a solution.

I'll be getting ascii data in a variable in a PowerShell script on a Windows machine, and I want to write it directly to a Linux box.

I don't want to write the data to disk on the Windows machine and copy it - I want to write directly to the Linux machine (on the same subnet, which might or might not be relevant) - perhaps open an SSH session to transfer the data, or use some other method.

The target would be a standard Ubuntu workstation - no web server installed, it's standalone, so not joined to the domain, nor does/will it have SAMBA or other SMB file sharing. But it does have powershell and a number of other tools installed.

I suppose one option would be to export an NFS share on the Ubuntu box and mount that - but would that require PowerShell later than 5.1?

Just some semi-random thoughts while thinking through a project - any input appreciated.

Depends on how much security you need.

 

Since you have .NET on both sides you can easily use PS to create a simple TCP client/server.

 

You can do Unix look-a-like programming or Streams.

 

Adding in SSL/TLS and AuthenticateAsClient/AuthenticateAsServer is harder, but still quite doable in a few hours.

 

Thanks.

Thanks.

I have some studying to do - I think .NET might be the way to go.
