Is it possible to send a text string to a user in a bash script which is getting called as a transfer protocol?

I'm working on a script to send files via an http:// link, and I have all of it
working but telling the user where to download it.

I'm very new to UNIX/socket programming, would this involve the %i and %h (ip address and socket descriptor) parameters?

I tried something like: echo -e "Test\n" | netcat $1 $2
where $1 = %i and $2 = %h and saw nothing. I've tried it with both socket io enabled and disabled for the protocol from scfg.

I think I covered this in the previous reply.

Apologies, while testing this I kept crashing (!) my system and thought the original post didn't get sent out. Thank you for the prompt help!
