Thanks to everyone helping out with finding the cause!

Never seen the need, I just use sftp if necessary, but mainly git syncing.

What I tend to do is have a git repo on my workstation, and parallel git repo's on the dev servers. Then I simply push and fetch between the two over SSH, editing and committing wherever is most convenient.

So mainly on the workstation. When compiling and doing UTs on the server I'd often commit there after fixing something, and use git over ssh to fetch back to my workstation.  Driving all fetch/push actions from the local workstation side.

So not having a filesystem abstraction over the top of it has never been an issue.

Mind, I'm often doing this across trans-Atlantic links, and so explicitly working with git that way is more comfortable than the 100ms+ delay of direct FS interactions.

My machines are all connected via a LAN, so no lag problems. I use sshfs to do cross-compilation.

Since I assume one of those is a windows machine, I'd just be inclined to use CIFS.

As windows, macOS, and Linux will all have support out of the box - the latter may need samba installed, not sure.

If windows wasn't in the mix, and since it is a private LAN, I'd just use NFS - despite its flaws.

Thank you. I did these, and downloaded the nightly, which works!

I'm using the putty utilities on Windows.

I've got everything installed now, and was able to bootstrap the compiler. "hello world" compiles and runs.

And, finally, I got my text editor compiled natively. I can only suffer under nano so much!

Thanks everyone for the help!
