Netcat allows you to transfer bytes over an network.
nc is already installed on all (most) linux
to use:
run on a train computer, this tells netcat to listen for a connection on a port
nc -l PORT
on your pc or thin client run:
nc IPADDR PORT
where IPADDR is the address of the machine you're connecting to and PORT is the same port you used eirlier.
This can be used in a bash pipe, and the bytes come out at the other end.
This can also be used by itself as a simple "chat" application to send text to and from those computers.
