File size changes!!! netcat
is there a limit to the size of a file that you can send threw netcat?
after i send a few files threw, the size of the file likes to change(it gets smaller)
AFAIK there is no upper limit to the size of files that can be sent through netcat. You might still want to make sure that you use a reliable connection, especially if connected through wireless, since I do not know how well netcat handles dropped packets.Originally Posted by BigMac

I've just backup and re-imaged a 30Gb partition using netcat {CloneZilla} with no problem.
/* Are you coping to a different partition type from BT3 {Ext2/3} to NTFS/FAT32 {Windows/Dos} if so they have different cluster sizes do that maybe what causing ? /*
{Quick Info on Topic: IF you have a file that is larger then the cluster size on the disk it will still use up the FULL cluster}

That is an interesting point, don't know if it's true or not, but if you were to copy from a 32byte blocksize to a 16byte blocksize, the files could actually get smaller in the copy.
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
