Magic-Wormhole – Get things from one computer to another, safely
> 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?~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.See: https://serverfault.com/questions/197545/can-non-login-accou...The use case I see for wormhole is if you're working purely in the python ecosystem. That's it.You're free to disagree of course, but I prefer ssh, since it's peer-to-peer end-to-end encrypted,
and extends to cover other use cases much more easily (rsync, VNC, etc.).
