At my workplace me and one of my colleague used to transfer files like database dumps etc. for projects from one machine to another.

I came across netcat (nc command) and when we tried that it just worked so quickly, i got surprised with the speed with which it got transferred. :) So i wrote applescript that transfers file using netcat, with dialog boxes.

after saving(netcat.scpt) this file to your machine just type in your terminal osascript your_path/netcat.scpt It will simplify your work to transfer file rather than remembering syntax for netcat OR if you want more shortcut to do this you can add it to .bash_profile file

alias netcat='osascript your_path/netcat.scpt'

and then just type netcat in terminal.. enjoy :)
