I just had to email me a file I got sent to my phone and I feel unable to accept this as the better solution.

What you do guys use for inter-device communication?

    I always have SSH everywhere on everything and I could never understand why anyone ever would want to make it more complicated than that.

      Most people probably don’t care but it can be a security risk, allowing malware to move “laterally” between all your devices. For my main devices I don’t give them SSH access to each other, but I do give them SSH access to my secondary devices (like a Pi-Hole)

        […] it can be a security risk, allowing malware to move “laterally” between all your devices.

        Unless you do something incredibly stupid, such as allowing keyless login or sharing keys (or having unencrypted keys or keys without a passphrase, seriously), I find it hard to see how that would actually happen in practice.

      Admittedly, I don’t do a lot of shuffling files around from this device to that, however, if I do, I mostly rely on sFTP or SSH.
