the other day I spent probably 30 minutes comparing solutions to share files between two machines over the network. I ended up just running this Python line...

python3 -m http.server 8080

this is a awesome trick that more people should know about

there is also solution for the opposite problem, when you have two machines and you have no idea what is in between them:

initiating transfer is as easy as copy-pasting or re-typing a short phrase
and it will find the best path to transfer files. If they are on same network, it will transfer locally. If they are on the opposite sides of the internet, transfer will go through proxy server, etc.
