Add transfers directory for file access without SSH

[Copilot]

The entire 06_SCANS/INBOX/ directory was gitignored, preventing remote file access when SSH is unavailable.

Changes

Directory structure

• Split INBOX into selective subdirectories:
  • new/ - gitignored (fresh scans)
  • to_trash/ - gitignored (archived content)
  • transfers/ - tracked by git (file sharing)

.gitignore refinement

-# Scans directory (temporary downloads)
-06_SCANS/INBOX/
+# Scans directory (temporary downloads - keep structure, ignore sensitive content)
+06_SCANS/INBOX/new/
+06_SCANS/INBOX/to_trash/
+# Allow transfers directory for file sharing without SSH
+!06_SCANS/INBOX/transfers/

Helper script

scripts/transfer_files.sh provides:

• upload <file> - commits and pushes to transfers/
• download - pulls and lists available files
• cleanup - removes transferred files
• Sanitizes filenames in commit messages
• Cross-platform date formatting

Usage

./scripts/transfer_files.sh upload archive.zip
# On remote machine
./scripts/transfer_files.sh download
./scripts/transfer_files.sh cleanup

Security

• Transfers directory tracked intentionally - only for non-sensitive files
• Documentation emphasizes appropriate use cases
• Existing sensitive scan workflows unchanged

Original prompt

I put the zip in INBOX, were not able to get it from here without SSH set up
