I'm looking for guidance on how to simply send a raw binary file over the network without any additional headers or modifications. My file already includes all the necessary information for my router to handle it properly. I want to send it directly from my network card. If anyone has experience with this and can provide clear methods or tools, I'd appreciate the help!

You can try using tools like telnet or netcat to send your binary file, or you could echo it directly to /dev/tcp. Just remember, if you're looking to go lower-level, you'll need to write a custom application that uses raw sockets.
Echo to /dev/tcp looks genius!
It's worth asking what protocols you're planning to use since 'network' is pretty broad. If you're using something like SSH, you could just go with scp or rsync without worrying about the raw sending part.

Thank you, it's working now.
