Instead of local: "rsync content me@target-server" remote: "cat content" we now have different much better commands and need a third server awesome
Is there a program out there that will expose a Unix socket as a named pipe or something that can be read to and written from like a file? That way you could take care of this with SSH tunneling. edit: I meant "port", not "socket"! But apparently this is basically what netcat does by default.

That's why you can do things like `ssh -e 'cat somefile' > some_localfile`
It's not always recommended, but possible.

Better not have KeePass open while this is open. Accidental leaks are just too risky that way.

Why yes it is, in the case where one or both of the endpoints are behind a firewall or are plagued by NAT.

I've been looking for something like this for ages. I use QubesOS, and copy + paste between HVM(Windows) and paravirtual domains(Linux) just did not work with Windows 10. I previously used a little webserver on a separate VM on my virtual network where I had to go with a browser to copy and paste stuff in a shared chat window. And files were even worse.
That solution was not as secure as I'd like and necessitates network connectivity between machine where I want to share data. Piknik is still not secure in that sense, but it is much more seamless and can be installed as a drop-in replacement since the environment is so similar to my current solution!
I love such generalized titles. My mathematically modified brain automatically searches for an example when you cannot copy something, then the whole statement is not true. My dog agrees, he cannot be copied over the network :)
It's nice that this is open-source, but if it involves an intermediate server anyway, PushBullet also does a great job, and on various platforms: https://www.pushbullet.com/ (No affiliation)
