How do I get a file from my desktop local onto balena?

Hi,
I have an executable on my Desktop that I’d like to bring into balena cloud.
Scp isn’t working for me, is there another way?
I have not been able to find this in the balena docs, but please feel free to point me to where this is documented.
Thanks!

Hello @sophi

usually what we do is to upload the file into file.io and then curl the file into the container on balenaCloud / ssh.

Does this work for you?

Thank you Marc!
I have a read-only system error.
is there a way to make balena host OS writable?

@sophi where are you?

did you try to go to /tmp or /resin-data?
