A dead simple way to send files between two Linux machines not on the same network is to use a utility called Magic Wormhole. It is typically included in the standard repositories and is so simple the this blog post is going to end soon.
Send a file:
wormhole send filename
This will generate a code for you to share like 6-speculate-allow
Receive a file:
wormhole receive 6-speculate-allow
Done.
