Tailscale, Blink, Files.app

Not sure when it happened, but Blink Shell—the iPad mosh/ssh client—added support for Files on iOS/iPadOS. So if you've taken the time to set up hosts in there, you can add file locations on those hosts and they show up in the Files app and make themselves available as a provider over an sftp connection to whatever can talk to Files .

Combined with Tailscale, it's all very simple and handy and spares me a lot of configuration work to keep it all secure. 

My current proof of concept involves a handful of org-mode todo files that I'd like to be able to read with Xenodium's Plain Org, an iOS/iPadOS org-mode app.  It has worked very well with that. I'm also playing around with his newer Journelly (an org-based journal app) and Flat Habits (org-based atomic habits, though he warns against working on files in place, and it's the one I'm least likely to care about getting at from a desktop). Oh, he also does scratch, which is a hyper-minimal org-based scratch buffer for your phone.

Update: This hasn't worked so well for Journelly, so I'm sticking to using Files in conjunction with an SMB share on my NAS.
