The source for ttcp.c, which has been asked about recently, can be obtained from vgr.brl.mil:~ftp/pub/ttcp.c via anonymous FTP. This is the original unaltered version. Note that some vendors take the liberty of modifying the port number and flags, so if you encounter interoperability problems with ttcp on other systems, check the options and port numbers. At BRL, we use ttcp for more than network throughput testing. It is useful for moving directory hierarchies between machines where other means would be more cumbersome: Dest machine: ttcp -r -B | tar x Src machine: tar cf - . | ttcp -t dest_machine Network routing problems can often be avoided by extending this pipe to other intermediate hosts. -tcs
