This kitten (which practically means kitty) must be installed on the other
machine as well. If that is not possible you can use the :doc:`remote_file`
kitten instead. Or write your own script to use the underlying
:doc:`file transfer protocol </file-transfer-protocol>`.
This kitten must be installed on the other machine. The easiest way to do so
is to ssh into it using the :doc:`ssh kitten </kittens/ssh>`. Or just
download the kitten binary yourself from the `kitty releases page
<https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/releases>`__ and put it somewhere in
PATH. If that is not possible you can use the :doc:`remote_file` kitten
instead. Or write your own script to use the underlying :doc:`file transfer
protocol </file-transfer-protocol>`.
