Seems like a solid option, and maybe better for recommending to people in general. Is it p2p? Nice thing about patchbay is pretty much all servers ship with a client (curl), so you don't have to worry about installing anything even for transferring large files. It's even lower friction than SSH/rsync with ssh agent because you don't have to type the destination path. Just run the receiver in the directory where you want the file to go. I used patchbay to transfer a 2GB earlier today. It looks like this:

#sender

curl https://patchbay.pub/anders/file.bin --data-binary @file.bin

#receiver

curl https://patchbay.pub/anders/file.bin > file.bin
