-By far my preferred system for 1-1 file transfer is the [[https://magic-wormhole.readthedocs.io/en/latest/welcome.html|magic wormhole]] protocol with the [[https://github.com/Jacalz/rymdport|rymdport]] cross-platform GUI frontend. +  * My favorite for 1-1 file transfer is [[https://magic-wormhole.readthedocs.io/en/latest/welcome.html|magic wormhole]] protocol via [[https://github.com/Jacalz/rymdport|rymdport]], although it has significant [[https://github.com/Jacalz/rymdport/issues/165|bugs]]
