Start a listener on the specified TCP port and send a file into it:
nc -l -p port < filename -
Connect to a target listener on the specified port and receive a file from it:
nc host port > received_filename -
Scan the open TCP ports of a specified host:
nc -v -z -w timeout_in_seconds host start_port-end_port -
Start a listener on the specified TCP port and provide your local shell access to the connected party (this is dangerous and can be abused):
nc -l -p port -e shell_executable -
Connect to a target listener and provide your local shell access to the remote party (this is dangerous and can be abused):
nc host port -e shell_executable -
