Fast file transfer with pseudo HTTP server
Time to time I need to transfer site from server to server very quickly and have not common solution for this, because I have permissios.
Solution is to use http server if you have this one of server with backups or use netcat.
On server side I run
nc -l -p 8080 < mybackup.tar.gz

netcat -l -p 8080 < mybackup.tar.gz

http://serveradress:8080
if you sent link to client it will best to do little more:
