Thank you, thank you, thank you! 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…

Same, but different: https://github.com/warner/magic-wormhole Great to copy from any host to another, just by sharing a short secret.

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)

Can you host your own PushBullet server?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

socat
