I’ve been using this site off and on and loving it.

What it does is let you put a whole lot of text on to a bin on their site and then send the link to someone. If you have used Pastebin you know what I mean.

All you need to use this is NetCat.
To check if you have it simply type “nc” in your terminal or cmd prompt and it would give you a reply such as this



tofi$ nc
usage: nc -46AacCDdEFhklMnOortUuvz] -K tc] -b boundif] -i interval] -p source_port]
	  -s source_ip_address] -w timeout] -X proxy_version]
	  -x proxy_address:port]] [hostname] [port[s]]

Once confirmed that you have Netcat simply type commands to pipe text into Termbin and then send the URL to your colleagues/friends:

Usage


echo just testing!  | nc termbin.com 9999



cat ~/some_file.txt | nc termbin.com 9999



ls -la | nc termbin.com 9999

Cant get it to work on my work computer (Linux Mint 12). Will have to try at home.

Truly for the nerds... but looks interesting.

True. I am in the habit of saving the command history of my terminals so the things I have done will be kept as a reference. I can certainly use this tool to save the commands histories to my home computer.

Exactly, I've worked with sensors and configuring them involves lots of terminal commands and if you lose the history then your life is hell.

Why would anyone want to do that (reference to original post). :hmmm:

Niksik bhabhi: It could be for debugging, installation gone wrong, step by step instructions of a program.....etc....

Or it could be something secretive that you don't want indexed in ur email so you offload the text on termbin and send the link. :)
