    I also plan to run Haiku on one of my older machines, but I can’t write down its components (e.g. init system, audio server), as it’s more monolithic than NetBSD or GNU/Linux.

    To transfer files using netcat, it’s:

    # Replace 1337 with any port number you like
    nc -vl 1337 > file   # On recipient
    nc -N 192.168.X.X 1337 < file   # On sender
    

    Of course, things like compression and encryption need to be done beforehand; but one would hopefully use other means to transfer such files.
