Share files with other researchers

• portable drivers
• online disk: Dropbox, Google Drive, Baidu Disk, OneDrive

Share files so that multiple authors can editor them simultaneously

• Google Sheets (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/), QQ Sheets (https://docs.qq.com/)

• GitHub

Transfer files between the local and remote machines, or between two local machines

To use SSH/scp/rsync, you need to start the sshd service.

On Fedora, run

systemctl enable sshd.service
service sshd start
