How does the receiving node authenticate with each other node to get
read access?

Data cannot go over the existing API connection, it has to be
configured separately over something like TCP/IP and root on node01
does not necessarily have access to anything on node02 without node02
being explicitly configured in advance to either serve files
anonymously or allow login.

I'm not sure this is appropriate as a helper across all LAVA
deployments and if restricted to the same deployments as lava-network,
it would require particular services to be installed and running on all
nodes which lava-network does not enforce.
