## Synopsis
Install ncat in local host and remote host:
```
# windows
scoop install nmap
# ubuntu
sudo apt install ncat
```
Steps to setup:
1. Run `ncat -l` in the local host
2. Use SSH port forwarding: `ssh -R 31337:localhost:31337 remote-host`
3. Run `ncat localhost <file` in the remote host
The script used to save the received data into the clipboard in Windows local host
```powershell
# ssh -R 31337:localhost:31337 host
# use `ncat localhost` in the remote host
while ($true) {
$data = & ncat -l
$data | Set-Clipboard
}
```
I also tried netcat but failed to make the versions for Windows and Linux communicate with each other.
