croc is a tool that allows any two computers to simply and securely transfer files and folders.

Another thing like that I wish I'd discover sooner is syncthing - it's really intuitive, just point it to a folder and it syncs stuff across your devices automatically. With it, a lot of cloud storage, backup and file transfer applications and features are completely redundant.

I've been trying to do this with scp between two computers running ssh on ports that are not 22
Croc just requires each computer to have internet access.
