Copy files off of device

I’m trying to figure out how to copy files off of the device. Specifically the log files in /data that my program has created.

I have rsync installed but not ssh.
I have curl installed, so I could post them.
Any other suggestions that are being used to copy logs and other data from the devices when you’re debugging a deployed device and can’t access it physically?

@jason10 I’m always a fan of https://transfer.sh when debugging (which uses curl)

Thanks @chrisys – I also found that I can use python’s minimalist webserver to serve local files using the public url:

  1. turn on public url
  2. cd directoryWithInterestingFiles
  3. python -m SimpleHTTPServer 80
  4. use browser to download files
