erwan.lExcellent work !
This was the missing part of Tiny PXE Server since day 1 : a comprehensive and exhaustive documentation.
You did it : thanks a million for that ![:cheerleader:](https://reboot.pro/public/style_emoticons/default/cheerleader.gif)
Thanks Erwan. And it was a pleasure - I've learned loads along the way - and had fun experimenting with the pretty amazing
Tiny PXE Server - it's a great application.
@
Wonko and
erwan.lI can't take any credit for the use of Netcat and dd. The commands in the guide were adapted from an example here -
http://gmgsystemsinc.com/fau/ DD and netcat support the following compression algorithms: "zlib", "zlib+", "gzip", " gzip+", "bzip", "bzip+", "lznt1" and "lznt1+". The "lznt1" algorithm is the most efficient and dramatically improves network throughput. For example:
dd.exe -v if=\\.\F: of=192.168.0.1 conv=noerror --iport 3000 --comp lznt1 --log --cryptsum md5 --cryptsum sha1
nc -v -n -L -p 3000 -s 192.168.0.2 --decomp lznt1 -O h:\servername\filename.img –localwrt
Note that the log and cryptographic checksum files also will be transmitted over separate sockets to the same destination TCP port (3000 in the example above).
The --iport switch is used to specify a TCP port number - so only traffic on the designated port should be captured.
Networking is out of my area of expertise (not sure what my area actually is to be honest!) so I'll leave this discussion to you guys.

P.s. The example on the FAU site shows the real advantage of this method - on the fly compression.
