A few people have had no fun with those instructions.

(The error message appears to indicate that the touch "netcat" doesn't have listen mode at all) This could be fixed by slamming a newer busybox over it. Total overkill of course. That command does NOT fail on a 3 with a newer busyobx

[root@kindle root]# nc -h
nc: invalid option -- h
BusyBox v1.20.2 (2012-09-03 02:06:04 BST) multi-call binary.

Usage: nc [-l] [-p PORT] [IPADDR PORT]

Open a pipe to IP:PORT
note the extra switch.

the original 3 nc is also not capable:

BusyBox v1.7.2 (2012-09-01 14:15:22 PDT) multi-call binary

Usage: nc [IPADDR PORTNUM]

Open a pipe to IP:PORT
as is the 5 incapable

Open a pipe to IP:PORT
wherever they are, These instructions, - someone should put "or just do it onto your local device" and the right instructions for a Touch. this is the third time someone failed with them. (That I know of)

Link?
thanks
