Getting Started

4. 4. Sharing Content

   To Sharing Files on Network by Airpaste.

   On the Sending computer do:

   airpaste < my.file

   On the Receiving terminal run:

   airpaste > my.file

   To Sharing & Streaming Content on the Pipe.
   Since Airpaste just outputs to stdout you can also do stuff like piping Movies/Music to Mplayer and any other that support streaming to stdin:

   • Sharing Text Content.

     Sending:

     echo hello world | airpaste

     Receiving:

     airpaste

     Optionally to Filter Receivers you can also Name the Pipe as an airpaste Argument like “airpaste myPipe.”

   • Streaming Media File.

     Sending:

     airpaste < movie.mp4

     Streaming:

     airpaste | mplayer -
