Thanks! mkfifo was included in this new command addition/whitelisting and we're going to write up an entire section on it next quarter. Can you email ? I actually searched for our conversation for a while and could not find it ... bottom line is that 'mkfifo' is in place and I can't wait to craft up some fascinating remote ssh examples with it ...

Bumped our email thread, thanks! For everyone else, the mkfifo command lets you transfer arbitrary streams of data between two systems while using rsync.net as an intermediary.

  I’m slightly confused on why that would be useful within the rsync.net context. Is bouncing traffic a new intended use case?

    The big use case my colleague came up with was transferring a blob of information between two machines without exposing ports on either machine.

    I don't know why you would want to run mkfifo, over ssh, on rsync.net. It makes me happy that it works.
