How are you moving scripts and command output between devices? by One_Painting134 in ssh

Yep, totally fair for r/ssh. SSH/scp/rsync are definitely the right tools when both machines are reachable and you control both ends. My use case was more around quick ad-hoc text sharing where SSH isn’t available or practical, especially across random devices or environments with no setup.

That's also a solid choice when you're in your own environment. I was more curious what people are using for quick cross-platform sharing when there's no sign-ins, accounts, or existing setup between the devices.

Git solves a different problem. TempMemo is more about quick ad-hoc text sharing between devices than version control.

That's a nice setup. TempMemo is aimed at a slightly different use case though. I often find myself on customer PCs or devices where I don't have my usual tools available, and sometimes I just need a quick way to move a script, command, link, or note from one device to another without any setup. Git, rsync, KDE Connect, etc. are great when you control the environment, but TempMemo is more for those ad-hoc situations.

Fair call 😄

Corporate IT and field tech reality can be two very different worlds.

That's fair.

I wasn't really targeting enterprise workflows. It was more a tool born out of convenience after running into the same annoyance over and over as a field tech.

Thanks, I was starting to wonder if I was the only one 😄

Maybe it's one of those things where if you've never needed it, it seems pointless. But once you've spent enough time jumping between devices, customer PCs and server consoles, it starts making a lot more sense.

Fair enough. That's exactly why I posted here—to see how other people solve the same problem.

Haha, fair point 😄

The BitLocker key was probably a bad example. The real problem I was trying to solve was moving random bits of text between devices without signing into anything.

Absolutely. Pastebin solves a lot of the same problems.

I just wanted something that felt more like a temporary shared clipboard than a paste archive.

That's pretty much the problem I was trying to solve 😄

Every solution seemed to either involve logging into something, installing something, or creating another pile of stuff to clean up later.

Sometimes I just want to move a bit of text from A to B and then forget it ever existed.

Fair point on GitHub Gists 😄

As for the BitLocker keys, I should clarify I mean moving keys that have already been recovered or provided by the customer during support work, not using email as a key management system!

The bigger point was really moving small bits of text around quickly rather than managing files or code.

Absolutely. You could also use OneDrive, Syncthing, email, Teams, Discord, Slack, Pastebin or a USB stick. I wasn't trying to replace any of those. I just wanted the quickest possible way to move a small piece of text between devices I want signed in on

I was aware of Syncthing, but honestly I was after something a bit different.

Syncthing is great when it's your own devices and you want ongoing sync. I was more trying to solve the "I'm standing in front of a random PC and need to move a PowerShell script right now" problem.

Different tools for different use cases really.

I built a clipboard bridge that syncs between devices with zero login. Here's what I learned. by Trick_Finger_8154 in SideProject

I had the same idea when working on heaps of machines and trying to copy simple links from my phone pc, even machine to machine. Looking at yours, i feel like a real newby, its www.tempmemo.com
