> Copying files with ssh/scp is fine, but requires previous arrangements and an account on the target machine, and how do you bootstrap the account?~<p>Assuming that you have openssh and rssh installed, you bootstrap like this:
useradd -m -g users -s /usr/bin/rssh tmp
passwd tmp
edit /etc/rssh.conf and uncomment allowscp
Share the password with the party you want to exchange data with. Make sure your ports are open.<p>See: <a href="https://serverfault.com/questions/197545/can-non-login-accounts-in-linux-make-scp-connections/197546" rel="nofollow">https://serverfault.com/questions/197545/can-non-login-accou...</a><p>The use case I see for wormhole is if you're working purely in the python ecosystem.
