A dead simple way to send files between two linux machines not on the same network is to use a utility called [Magic Wormhole](https://github.com/warner/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:**
```bash
wormhole send filename
```
This will generate a code for you to share like `6-speculate-allow`
**Receive a file:**
```bash
wormhole receive 6-speculate-allow
```
Done.
