I've got the network addresses of both devices but pings don't reach the computers. How can I send big files between these devices?

Just to be clear, I don't want to transfer data using a USB drive or something. I want to know how to SCP or something similar while on an awkward network.

You could create a torrent. Taken from this answer.

Transmission can create a torrent:

sudo apt-get install transmission-cli

transmission-create --help
Usage: transmission-create [options] <file|directory>

Options:


-h --help              Display this help page and exit
 -p --private           Only use this torrent with the specified tracker(s)
 -o --outfile <file>    Save the generated .torrent to this filename
 -c --comment <comment> Add a comment
 -t --tracker <url>     Add a tracker's announce URL
 -V --version           Show version number and exit

Just Beam It is a P2P file transferring service. Imagine it is like uploading your file to Google Drive (or equivalent), but it is instead uploading to your second computer.

It wasn't fast for me, but I have very slow internet. It may work well for you!
