Examples

⚠️ bash is used in this example just as a simple program. You should not use bash or another shell with airport, as it will expose your computer over the network.

Using airport is super simple. It takes one argument, the command to run. For example:

$ airport /bin/bash

Then, in another terminal window:

$ nc localhost 8080
cat hello.txt
Hello, world

To specify a port, simply use the address flag.

$ airport --address :1234 /bin/bash

As of right now, stdin and stdout are redirected over the network, while stderr is output to the local computer’s stderr. If you want you can change this with the --redirectStderr flag, for example:

$ airport --address :1234 --redirectStderr /bin/bash

Usage

$ airport --help
Usage of airport:
  -address string
        the address to listen on (default ":8080")
  -redirectStderr
        redirects stderr over the network
