Cannot transfer between two firewalled machines

[xloem]

Does ipfs allow transfer between two machines, neither of which will accept incoming connections?

I seem to be able to view the files on gateway.ipfs.io, but not retrieve them from the commandline.

ipfs get just hangs for a long time. ls -l /ipfs/[hash] gives ls: cannot access /ipfs/[hash]/[file]: No such file or directory.

To answer my own question: no, ipfs does not support this.

Open port 4001 if you want to share files with others.
If you are firewalled and want to download a file from a machine that is firewalled, visit the file on gateway.ipfs.io first, so that it has a non-firewalled source.
