on the client side, while in a browser, downloading files is trivialI don't know if it'd be possible in a browser agnostic way and there are ways to do it outside of rpi-connect but it'd be nice to have if possible within the screen sharing browser window. maybe an x/y/zmodem transfer button and we use a file transfer/comms program or an upload button and download button that open local file dialog and remote file dialog or well whatever you'd decided worked in a simple and intuitive way.
just a nice to have if it's simple and safe to implement.
so the only complex part, is connecting the rpi to the webserver, to expose rpi files to the rpi-connect server
and for upload, just toss a <input type="file"> box into the webpage, and reverse the above
no need for anything like xmodem, you can just naturally do a binary transfer between systems
i think the bigger problem, would be bandwidth, if ports arent opened, you need to pass everything thru the rpi connect servers, which would run up the bills a lot
