All of them require an account on the other machine and aren't really suitable for quick transfer one-off file transfer from one computer to another that you don't own.

If I have a direct network connection I tend to go with:

    python3 -m http.server
or

    tar ...| nc
Neither of which is great, but at least you'll find them on many machines already preinstalled.
