That deb-get sounds like a nice tool.

apt-get functionality for .debs published in 3rd party repositories or via direct download. It works on Debian, Ubuntu and their derivative distributions.

I use deb-get to install a few apps that are not available in MX repos.

Thanks, good to know.

Wow! Very handy!! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the clarification AVLinux.

FullScale4Me, I never knew that a cable like that was available. Thanks for posting the info.

Adrian, I am glad you have something that works for you. I am not worried about firewall issues on a work network and I have Zero interest in Microsoft and any of their Linux 'contributions'. I do appreciate you bringing forth that issue you had with croc. Thank you.

I read about croc yesterday in the comments section of a review of a program called Warp. What got my interest was the fact croc could resume transfers.
I am a petro head and have over 20TB of racing and documentaries. As the resolution of captured videos increases, so does the file size. Races can be anywhere up to 100GB in size. I transfer files from my torrent unit, the Z420, to remote hdds and also onto ssds of laptops I am using. Having the ability to resume transfers that did not finish, for what ever reason, is a great feature for me. If wormhole ever offers the ability to resume transfers, I might try it out. At this point I have something that works for me and I am happy with it.

Dearth, that seems like a great little program. Thank you for sharing it. I will definitely use it.

I went to the official IRC support channel and asked:

[20:31:12] <FullScale4Me> Question: what port(s) does the “Rendezvous Server” use?

[02:41:33] <@meejah> 4000 by default
[02:41:37] <@meejah> FullScale4Me: ^
[02:41:47] <@meejah> (it's also called the "mailbox server" now)
[02:42:11] <@meejah> sorry, is sometimes also called that
