Which lib/approach would you recommend if i need run a remote batch process using local files?

For example, on the local system:

remote-execute gcc localfile.c -o localfile.o

And on the remote system, there is a gcc and a remote agent which receives and retransmits the files

You would use rcpu(1) which essentially imports the remote cpu. In other words the remote processor "sees" the local file structure/namespace.

9front is full of "free carrots". If you want a remote vpn, just import another servers /net ontop of your process namespace and you're all set.

9front looks so very interesting. Thanks

SSH for job running and management, NFS for filesystem access. Have remote systems mount the local file system. If NFS isn’t available, have the remote job pull files over rsync from your local system, then rsync back the resulting output.

Ugh! Thanks but no thanks

I dont want to mount and expose nfs, or allow a full ssh login. This will be a custom agent/daemon on both ends
