POFS - Pear Of Fuxxing Server

POFS is a little Bash script using Netcat to serve files or directories.
'Using Netcat' means you can manage only ONE connection at time; after file or directory will be served Netcat wil exit its process and return listening for an incoming connection.
The result is that Pofs is LESS usefull while connectons number GROWS UP and/or file served weight GROWS UP (ie. don't use it to serve .iso files).
Pofs best use (the reason it was created) is to serve documentation or little sources archives.

POFS Usage

Being a single script, POFS doesn't requires installation.
Simply estract the archive, go inside directory created and run it choosing a connection port (ie. 1234):

    $ bash pofs 1234

Of course you can use it as executable:

    $ chmod 755 pofs

and place a link inside a path dir (ie. inside /usr/local/bin)

    # ln -s -t /usr/local/bin /dir_where_pofs_is/pofs

after that you could use it simply calling 'pofs'

    $ pofs 1234

For more informations, read the file FknManual.txt (LoL) or use options 'pofs -h' or 'pofs --help'
