How do I transfer data between Ubuntu and CentOS using LAN cable, in the same network? I tried installing Samba which did not go well in CentOS.

The easiest would be to set up SSH and use SCP. If you are transferring files to the CentOS server, do the following:

On CentOS:

sudo yum -y install openssh-server openssh-clients sudo chkconfig sshd on sudo service sshd start

From the Ubuntu box, run:

scp sourcefile.txt [email protected]:/target/directory/

If you have an SSH server installed on both of them, you can use scp or better make use of rsync.

  • rsync requires that a rsync server is installed on one of the servers. Commented May 2, 2014 at 9:19
  • rsync requires indeed that it is installed on both hosts. However rsync can make use the SSH connection for the transfer. Commented May 2, 2014 at 9:20

    rsync does not require using rsync server. Only the normal rsync client is enough. rsync -e ssh source username@destination:path is the syntax for RSync over SSH. Commented May 2, 2014 at 9:21
  • @Spack & Tero Kilkanen: thanks. I always used rsyncd by the past Commented May 2, 2014 at 9:27

Open a shell on the destination host and type:

~# nc -v -v -l -n -p 2222 > file.out

Now open a shell on you sender host and type the following commands:

~# pv -t -r -a -b /dev/zero | nc -v -v -n DESTINATION_IP_HERE 2222 < file.in

    While this might work - I think it's doing it the hard way. Commented May 2, 2014 at 10:31
