rcp

Copy and paste strings across internet

This program was design to be used in a shell.

Some user cases:

Machine B

rcp -p

---

---

Copying text files

Copying binaries files

rcp was not design to work with bin files, but design to be used with other commands... so it's possible to work with base64 command to copy bin files as follow

Machine A

base64 /usr/bin/cat | rcp -c

Machine B

rcp -p | base64 -d >> catcopy

Configuring rcp

Before using -c and -p arguments the use of --configure is needed this arg will generate ~/.rcp.properties

you'll need to inform a secret, the secret must be a string that just you must known and big enough to no one can guesses that you can use https://generate.plus/en/base64 to generate a random base64 string to use as secret

ex:

rcp --configure KLw6YjPniBGfcnq9pCg+81bs8idkt0+/gkbpfrPzBFs=
