Step 12:
At the debian@debian prompt, type sudo socat TCP-LISTEN:8888,reuseaddr,fork - and press Enter.
Entering this command results in the following error:
socat[722] E exactly 2 addresses required (there are 1); use option “-h” for help
I’ve gone though the help section but due to not having any previous guide on socat and no details as to what this line actually does, I am stuck.
Any help will be appreciated.
I just checked, and the command works as expected:
There is a text file on the lab server desktop (commands) that has this command written for you. Try copy and pasting it into Linux-A.
Hi Joseph, thanks for the reply! I opened the text file and immediately realized my mistake. I was not entering the “-” at the end of the command! All good now.
Without that comment I never would have noticed that the ‘-’ is part of the command
