# Deliver File

The user's Windows machine pulls files from this host over Tailscale SSH.
Host address: `vasily@msi.tail0b014a.ts.net` (Tailscale IP 100.67.41.125).

## Steps

1. Resolve the absolute path of the file or directory.
2. Run `t3-deliver <path>` (on PATH; source: `global-skills/bin/t3-deliver`).
3. Hand the printed `scp` line to the user verbatim and note that they run
   it in cmd or PowerShell on Windows.

If `t3-deliver` is missing, print the equivalent command yourself:

```text
scp vasily@msi.tail0b014a.ts.net:"/absolute/path/to/file" .
```

Add `-r` for directories.

## Notes

- Do not start HTTP servers or other transfer machinery for deliveries;
  Tailscale SSH is the established path.
- For quick text-only needs the T3 client's "Copy contents" on an open
  file also works.
- Keep generated deliverables at predictable paths and tell the user the
  path when done.
