In this post, I touch on how to enable remote access to any linux box running TOR. Since we have SSH access to our home TOR router, we can use RSYNC over SSH to provide secure, encrypted file transfers (we could also use SCP, but RSYNCs ability to use compression and it's comparison/update feature make it faster).
torify rsync -azvhe ssh /local/dir user@remotehost.onion:/path/to/dir
I run the above to copy the contents of a directory on my laptop to my home NAS. I use SSH shared keys so I don't get prompted for a password, autologin-tastic. I also have it running as a cron job, currently just syncing my bookmarks directory. Individual files I still tend to use SCP.
