ServerClip is a tool for copying contents of a file over various ssh connections. Need to get a log file over to your laptop? This can help.
Hmmm... If I can ssh... I'm gonna use SCP
If I can't SCP but can port forward, I'm gonna use netcat
Maybe I'm missing something, but this seems unnecessary.
It creates an ssh tunnel and then sends the file over http, so .... literally no advantage to using this over ssh/scp.
Worse in every way, actually.
What's the advantage over sftp, scp, or similar lower level protocols?
I don't need to configure a server on each VM
What can this thing do that sftp cant?
Why not rclone?

zssh is in most distros, but why not reinvent the wheel by port forwarding http?
